Arizona Coyotes

Enjoyed my evening, game, screaming, food, drinks, plus Coyotes WON!!! Very entertaining place, and souvenirs are not too expensive!

The woman at the box office recommended the seats — reasonably priced for a Christmas present — and they are awesome! My honey is happy! We love Arizona hockey and the Coyotes rock!

They seriously need a better marketing manager! It baffles me that they loose money every season. Hockey rocks! It is fast paced, exciting, and the fans are so fun to watch! While our team is not so hot, they are still our home team so you have to give them some love despite them being very dissapointing this season… ok every season! As with any professional sport, tickets are kind of expensive but this is one that is worth it. You won’t be bored! Go see a hockey game so we can keep them in Arizona!

How the team continually stays here, Bettman should earn a gold medal for this. Truly impressive.
It’s sad how the team has gone through mostly down’s…what’s going to happen when Shane Doan retires, a true warrior that probably doesn’t have more than 3 years at most to play at an effective level.
Trading away Yandle this year at the trading deadline, their only true offensive gun back there, will hurt.
Other than their monster centre Hanzal, it’s not really a tough team to play against.
Just need Smith to hold down the fort in the pipes.

I’ve been to at least one game of every sports franchise in Phoenix, including minor league events. While all of them were solid experiences, not one of them comes close to treating their fans as well as the Coyotes do. This organization seems to genuinely care that you have the optimal experience at every event; and it isn’t just false actions to try and get your money. I went to a game tonite, my first in a few years, with my two year old son. I have a disability however the tickets I was given by a friend were normal seating. By the time I got to Glendale, it was right around gametime. However, despite the fact that by this point the handicapped accessible seats were full in the section of seats I had, the organization went out of their way to help and got me seats in a CLOSER accessible seating section. In fact the section I was put in only would have been closer if I was on the ice with the team. They did so and did not charge one cent extra. They just as simply could have stuck me in the nosebleed area to get me handicapped accessible seating but upgraded me because they «wanted me to enjoy the full experience.» Then, the team went above and beyond to make sure my son had a tremendous experience, giving him a pack of player cards, one of the on ice used pucks after the game, a certificate for attending his first game and a few coupons for the team store. This all is above and beyond the fan experience I expect when buying a ticket or attending an event. Will be back again very soon. Oh and did I mention, if you get there early and look, you can find free parking? Not too many teams offer that.

Although the Coyotes are currently 3 from the bottom in the NHL, they are in the process of rebuilding the team. The last 2 games I’ve attended since the trade deadline have been some of the best games I have seen in the 2 years I have been a season ticket holder. With all the new players, there is an intensity in the play that has been, in my opinion, absent for a while. I guess they all have a lot to prove. Although we’re not going to the playoffs this year, I’m sure the rest of the season will be worth watching.

So I had never been to a hockey game until last year sometime. I hate sports… they’re boring. However, the games I went to were fun and exciting. The arena is nice and Westgate is awesome too! Go and enjoy a game and you’ll be happy you did! Also, they’re now the Arizona Coyotes (since they no longer play in Phoenix).

This won’t be a rant or rave about the team, the fans, or management. I’m going to reveiw this as an activity/​night out for the family.
Action: The team was right around .500 this season so most of the games were quite good. They do seem to play up for good teams and down for poor teams, so the games usually are well fought (which for die hard fans would be irritating, but for someone that just wants to see good hockey it’s actually a plus).
Value: For a pro sport, flat out awesome. You can get seats in the upper deck for right around $ 20-​$ 24. We usually sit up there and you can see everything just fine. We’ve walked around the stadium a fair bit and have sat in several different places… I don’t think there are many bad seats in the house. Souveniers are flat-​out expensive; you can find the same items (or almost the same) online for about 50% of the in-​arena cost.
Ambiance/​environment: Good enough so you can bring kids. Stadium is clean and well kept. The resturants just to the north are great and lots of people go there before the game for a drink or some food, and there are some decent places there.
Food: Not bad for an arena. Definitely doesn’t count as cheap, but not outrageous. The difference in cost is small enough that that I recommend buying the premium beer over the Bud Light/​Coors Light/​meh beverage.
Location: Gets low marks for being way out in Glendale and recently instituting parking fees.
Overall: Definitely worth going to see. The team is young and has several good players on it. It hasn’t really taken off in popularity yet but attendence has gone up on average the past few seasons. I’d recommend going to see some games now, as signs do point to a good team in a few years and likely higher ticket prices to go with that.

name change: team is now arizona coyotes

Coyote fans are ridiculous!!! They have no passion!!! They are the worst in the NHL!!! They get mad at the fans and threaten to throw them out because they get excited over what is going on the ice! Only in this stadium have I had the problem of being passionate!!! Terrible fans! Wish they would of moved out of the desert. THESE FANS DO NOT DESERVE THE COYOTES! I was at the coyotes vs Flyers game 1−4−14. I was told to sit dow during stoppage in play by people behind me, and also had to go up and talk to coyote security about this. My friend and I would stand up on exciting plays at our end of our ice, and also during stoppage of play. This is hockey people!!! People get excited!!! I have never heard anything like this ever in any sporting event that I have been to!!! I’m very disappointed in the coyotes!!! I was told by the security that «you can’t stand up if people behind you complain» What is that crap!!! Have you ever heard of that??? We were the only ones who had to go up and talk to security, only took the side of the lazy people who never wanted to stand up and have no passion. I will not give the coyotes another dime, only when the Blackhawks are in town ha!!! GO HAWKS!!!

This was my first pro hockey game! I really enjoyed the ambiance — but one thing I didn’t realize… Hockey = ice. Ice = cold. I froze. Make sure you take a jacket to stay warm (unless you are unnaturally hot bodied) and you will have a blast. They have all the bells and whistles with the lights and music blaring — just fun! We sat in the nosebleeds — but still really enjoyed the game. We got to the area before the game to grab a bite to eat — every place was packed. The prices also were higher than what the menu had posted — not sure if this is common at all the restaurants around the arena… We went to the game right as it was starting, and were surprised by all the empty seats. They slowly filled up — so if you are on time, it is pretty easy to get in and to your seats.

FOLKS!!! One thing that amazes me is that the Coyotes does not draw more fans! I’m not saying there is enough Coyotes fans? But with all of the snowbirds, and retirement population here from the northern states! At least you would think they would come and support the teams they were from? Ever since we moved out here we have made a commitment to support the Coyotes! Yes we are huge Kings fans! But that doesn’t mean we don’t care for this team. Never saw a team with so much heart! Especially what they have to go through not knowing if they are going to be here next year again!!! No owners! Bad location! Even though Glendale is closer, team would serve better if they played out of the US Air Arena!!! Afraid we are going to lose this team to Seattle! Come on fans! Support this team!

I’ve been to a few Coyotes games over the past couple of years and I have to say that I’m very impressed. The team delivers the goods to it’s fans. Last year, I thought they had what it took to win a championship. They played really hard and then fell to the eventual Stanley Cup champ, LA Kings. Not a bad way to end the season. For that, the hockey team of players, when their playing deserves 5 Stars.
However, the team ownership can’t get their financial act together and as a result has put this team in limbo. Can fans count on them staying in town? Who knows? They get 0 Stars.
The players also deserve 0 Stars for causing the lockout that almost cost an entire season. Hasn’t the NHL learned anything about this kind of stuff? It almost decimated their league a few years ago.
Simply. Ridiculous.
Return Factor — 50% (if they played in Scottsdale or anywhere on the East Side, it would be 100%)

First off I’m thrilled to be living in the Phoenix area finally and for two primary reasons. 1) the Dbacks 2) Phoenix Coyotes hockey! I use to go to Las Vegas Wranglers ECHL minor leauge hockey all the time and I dreamed of the day I could come to Phoenix and see my beloved Coyotes play whenever I please and that day has finally come. We’ve only lived here for two weeks and my wife and I have already caught two games. The second game we beat the Sharks in true Arizona, hard earned fashion and it was amazing. I’m even more hooked than I thought I was before. Even the game they lost was still fun and entertaining. The fans are great, they always get into the game, the arena is incredible! Best sound system I’ve ever experienced, and the actual play on the ice is always outstanding. This is all around a first-​class entertainment option and quite possibly the best value in town. Sure the location kinda sucks for most people, but once you step foot in that building and hear your Phoenix Coyotes howl and skate onto the ice, you know it’s worth it and are already asking yourself, «when can we do this again?!»

A winning team, reasonable ticket prices, fun family atmosphere, and a first class arena! These are all keys to high value, exciting entertainment night out! The coyotes have always delivered these to their fans!

It is actually quite impressive how much this franchise accomplishes with so little A) Money, B) Fan Support, C) History. As a rival of my beloved Kings I really cannot solidly «support» the ‘yotes, but I definitely feel for them and really hope they can find a local owner interested in helping them keep some of their talent. Seriously, have you watched Keith Yandle play? If not, perhaps you should.
Gone are the days of the awkward Coyote Goalie logo and rick-​rack jersey all now replaced by classy white and maroon plus a pretty solid Coyote logo. Figure these facts in with Doan and Yandle, one of the NHL’s best new arenas, dirt cheap tickets, and free parking — you should probably check them out… it isn’t like the Suns are going to be playing this year.

When my wife and I had a chance to move to the Phoenix area in 2004 I was immediately thrilled to know we could see NHL hockey on a regular basis. The Coyotes have improved in the last couple years but even when they didn’t make the playoffs you’re still watching great hockey. So many People are fans of «winning» and not of a sport. Sure we’d love to see the Yotes get by the Red Wings in the first round but it’s hockey and we hope the NHL can find an owner to keep the team here.

Frankly, who cares? Bad logo even from the start with lego-​land Hopi coyote to the howling dog look now. Throw in indifferent teams and financial problems throughout, why was this team moved from Winnipeg in the first place.
Also, retaining the whole «White Out» tradition in the playoffs is dumb. Sorry, but it didn’t really work in Winnipeg (how many playoff rounds did they win in their NHL days?).
Plus they don’t even play in Phoenix anymore.
