So up to this point I know that the move may not even happen. However, I'd love to see the reactions of people who have an opinion over what happens. If the Arizona Coyotes were to move from Arizona where is the most logical choice. Now factor in more than just fan interest, because it is a business and that's essential what failed many franchises in the past. Think regarding sponsorship, arena/stadium proposals and size of the home city.
Seattle, Washington - The Emerald city is home to a very very enthused fanbase of all sports. The Seahawks rule the area but the Mariners are a hot ticket as well. The Sonics were partially wrongly moved to Oklahoma City (which turned out alright). This city does have a passion and do back their franchises no matter what the sport is. It is up north and does provide a bit of carryover from the Canucks fanbase. They have the sponsorship, but the issue is an unbuilt arena but a couple proposals at that.
Las Vegas, Nevada - The Sin city has had it's name pop up several times in discussion, even at the time of the Atlanta Thrashers move with Jim Balsillie's name being at the forefront. The sponsorship is there and obviously the money to fund them is also there. The arena is a huge question mark at this stage as as of now I have not even seen a proposed arena plan. The fanbase is a question mark as well considering the Las Vegas population per day varies on tourists visits.
Kansas City, Missouri - The franchise the used to have in the NHL is now home in New Jersey (after a move to Denver initially). That was the 70's though and now it is a different city. A growing community with a passion for sports, but how many season ticket holders would a team like this get. Sponsorship would be somewhat of a question mark considering it's a similar market to Dallas. I have yet to see a stadium proposal for this.
Quebec City, Quebec - They sued to have a team which now is located in Colorado and doing well down there. The stadium proposal for a Quebec City team was outstanding and might have been the best one yet with Seattle at an even field. The sponsorship would come, much like the Jets did. The fanbase is passionate, but also was part of the reason they lost money last go around and they moved away.
If you have another suggestion, just list why and where it is. Would love to see a business discussion and not solely a biased one based on location.
