As previously reported on due to tax delinquencies and unpaid rink charges the city of Glendale cut ties with the Coyotes and the at the end of last season.
The Gila River Arena in Glendale had hosted the Coyotes for 18 years and had a seating capacity of about 17,000.
By contrast the Mullett Arena the Coyotes will share with Arizona State University has a capacity of 5,000, less than a 3rd of capacity of the next smallest stadium in the NHL, and less than a 4th of the largest stadium in the NHL.
