Now question is, how long can Coyotes survive in Arizona?

Search on the Jobing.com Arena website under the category of “upcoming events” and you’ll find two.

That’s it.

On July 14, the joint should be hopping for a triple bill featuring New Kids On The Block, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men.

The next gig after that will feature Nitro Circus Live! Something for kids of all ages.

It will be there on Jan. 24, 2014.

That’s right, hockey fans. Without the NHL in town, it would be 194 days between listed events inside the Glendale arena, the home of the Phoenix, sorry, Arizona Coyotes.

Maybe that’s why Glendale City Council voted 4-3 in favour of an elaborate management deal aimed at keeping the NHL franchise where it is.

Of course, those who peeked in at the council meeting didn’t have to wait until January to see a live circus going on.

It was taking place right in front of their eyes.
