The scheduled press conference of NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman in Tempe, Arizona, was disrupted after the venue was vandalized with the words "VOTE NO" in multiple areas. This development highlights the existing tension between Tempe and Phoenix regarding the proposed construction of a new arena for the Coyotes in Tempe.
While Tempe is in favor of the new arena, Phoenix is opposed to it, resulting in legal action being taken. This latest incident adds a new layer of complexity to an already intriguing situation. The aftermath of this vandalism remains to be seen, and it is unclear whether the Coyotes will be able to construct their new arena in Tempe.
