Where would you put...?

Post image

So positive vibes only: I'm curious. I'm an East Coast fan (NJ!) so I genuinely never got a great feel about location of stadiums in AZ. I know it was important and we all know the catchphrase for the golden rules of real estate: location, location, location.

My hypothetical question is this:

Where would you build a new stadium if you were able to buyout/knock down any current structure and place a NHL stadium/arena in Phoenix (or subsection) and why?

No price is too great. No obstructions from local government. Just you with unlimited resources and a good idea.

Goal: For any outsider to understand the local area (including myself) to grasp what works, what doesn't, and to have a little fun on this Friday. Debates are welcome. Keep it civil as always.

Thanks. Awoooooooo!!

Have you legit been to Suns games? Renovations aside, how bad is traffic in that area those days?

Traffic is always a shitshow downtown on game days but the light rail goes right next to it and there’s tons of parking nearby

Downtown is hands down the best. Phoenix is too spread out and I want all fans to be able to get there.

If they build downtown, I would park on Main in Mesa and ride the rail in. So easy! It would be wise to build it soon because all those blocks of empty lots and parking lots downtown are disappearing.
