Arizona Coyotes Announce New Temporary Home at ASU Arena
Historic Partnership for NHL and ASU
Desert Diamond Arena to Host Coyotes Games
The Arizona Coyotes have announced a historic partnership with Arizona State University (ASU), which will see the NHL team play its home games at the university's Desert Diamond Arena from 2022 to 2024.
The move to ASU's state-of-the-art arena is the first time in NHL history that a team will play in a college facility. Desert Diamond Arena has a seating capacity of 17,125 for ice hockey, making it one of the largest college hockey venues in the country.
The Coyotes will have a seating capacity of 17,000 fixed seats for NHL games, with an additional 1,500 temporary seats available for non-hockey events. The move to a smaller venue will allow the Coyotes to create a more intimate and electric atmosphere for fans.
The partnership between the Coyotes and ASU is expected to create a significant economic impact for the Phoenix area. The Coyotes' games are expected to draw large crowds to Tempe, boosting the local economy and supporting businesses in the area.
The move to ASU was met with skepticism from some in the NHL due to the arena's smaller capacity. However, the Coyotes are confident that the intimate atmosphere and passionate fan base will make up for the difference.
