Here and Now - Indian Gaming, Phoenix Coyotes

[Sports and Leisure] [Economy] [Tax Policy] [Growth & Development]

It is one of the most overused clichés in broadcasting. "Build it and they will come." Technically, it's build it and 'he' will come, but how many people really watched the movie Field of Dreams and then built a ballpark in a corn field?

Well, the cliché applies to Glendale. The city helped pay to build what is now Jobing.com Arena on what used to be cotton fields. And 'they' came. 'They' being the Phoenix Coyotes NHL hockey team, which has done as well in the desert as a chunk of ice removed from Canada and left to evaporate in the desert. Don't get me wrong, I like the Coyotes, and I love going to fights when a hockey game happens to break out.

But the Coyotes were a huge money pit -- draining the finances of its past two owners. When the NHL stepped in to sell the team, owner Jerry Moyes filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy which amounts to a liquidation sale. The guy that helped bring us the BlackBerry wireless device offered $212 million for the desert dwellers with plans to move the team back to a climate and locale where hockey games are much better attended and thus, financially break even, or god forbid, make money. Turns out, if you build it, they will come, then go.

Valley hockey fans aren't the only ones getting screwed. The city of Glendale invested $180 million dollars in the concrete and metal structure. The city is in court to make sure whoever buys the Coyotes, will keep playing games at Jobing.com Arena.

The city would prefer another big money venture just go away. The Tohono O'odham Nation quietly purchased county land in Glendale years ago and now wants to build a full-scale resort and casino there. Glendale leaders have told the tribe they don't want a 24 hour casino with more than 1000 slot machines and dozens of poker tables. The tribe points to the huge economic impact the casino would have, but Glendale counters that the majority of that impact comes at Glendale's expense, not benefit. Now, it's not a matter of if you built it, they will come. We all know people will come and spend millions. The question is, WILL they be allowed to build it? We're hear from both parties.

But more importantly, we'll take an overall look at casino gaming in Arizona and the impact its having on and off the reservation. Plus, we'll hear from proponents of one of the oldest forms of gambling in Arizona--race tracks who are still itching for some of the billions of dollars Indian casinos rake in.

Have a comment, question, or cliché. The blog is all yours. (and if you don't see your posting right away it's because we have to monitor entries to prevent those darn spammers from filling up our pages with those %@#&^ ads and weblinks.)
