The Coyotes proposed a possible arena change for the team, which would cost $2.1 Billion, it would also act as an entertainment district.
This proposal was heavily outvoted, even though this was probably the best option for the Coyotes and Arizona, due to the fact the team has already moved twice in as many years. The city didn't want any part of it. As Tempe voted 60% "NO.»
Coyotes president & CEO Xavier A. Gutierrez said, "We are very disappointed that Tempe voters did not approve propositions 301, 302 & 303. As Tempe Mayor Corey Woods, this was the best arena deal in the history of Arizona."

The organization is obviously committed to staying in Arizona, but it looks very unlikely with the way things are going at the moment. This may be the last of Arizona hockey.
Gary Bettman, also spoke about the news and stated that the NHL is very disappointed with the Tempe voters, and the way they decided to vote.
