The hockey ice surface itself is not the issue. The rink only uses about 10,000 gallons initially and then a much smaller amount for resurfacing. The arena itself will easily use 3-4 times that much every game for restrooms, food, etc. Then add in all the other buildings that are planned for the arena complex and the water demand will be substantial.

All major league sports arenas and stadiums should be built near urban centers, not way out in the suburbs. They also need mass transit access, we can't have everyone driving to the rink. Most Canadian NHL and Pro Sports buildings (of course New York City too) have rail transit, walkable urban areas surrounding them, or lots of buses. Ottawa is pursuing an arena downtown with O-train access. Why can't the Coyotes build something near downtown Phoenix? Isn't the proposed rink on desert land that should be left in a natural setting? Phoenix is just sprawling over desert land instead of building up and densifying to avoid encroaching on nature. No wonder water is an issue there. Parts of North America are too focused on auto development, Phoenix especially.

It is about the route options. SE Valley with over 50% the pop in Maricopa County HAD to go through downtown Phoenix during rush hour adding an extra hour or go around adding ~50% the distance and roughly a similar amount of time. The new site means the vast majority of the Phoenix Metro area can get there in ~45-60mins because the main routes aren't affected by downtown traffic. Downtown Phoenix rush hour traffic is like a pump pushing water away from it. Getting into downtown isn't that terrible during rushhour. Going through downtown to get somewhere on the opposite side of town is the problem.

The Mayor of Scottsdale's statement is just hot air. He can posture all he would like, but the land parcel is under City of Phoenix jurisdiction. Scottsdale is upset because Phoenix gets the prestige of big 4 sports team (Yotes even floated the idea of changing name back to Phoenix Coyotes), gets NONE of the tax revenue from the district, and then has to deal with surface street traffic from events. Its kind of a big L for them. The issue of the water is a non-issue, Murello has already said they will pay for all needed infrastructure upgrades...this includes water, sewer, electric, and highway interchange upgrades. As per Mark Edelman, executive consultant for urban development from the Arizona Sate Land Department, in his memo to the City of Phoenix outlining the parcel and its needs and impacts, water from Phoenix can be established in 3 places, two lines on Deer Valley rd and one off Scottsdale Road. People are acting like developments cant add piping...well how do you think the piping for the developments around this parcel got there? You plan, you pay, you execute. The Murello ownership group has recognized this need, and will pay privately for this. This is part of their bid for the parcel.
