More details. "On Tuesday, the board voted to pay half of the rent and about 18 months of office costs — amounts that would come in annually at around $180,000 and $60,000, respectively — to entice the American Hockey League’s Roadrunners to keep playing the heavy majority of its games at the Tucson Convention Center for the next three years or longer."

1) Arizona hockey is my life, but tax payers shouldnt be subsidizing this shit
2) curious what happens when Utah inevitably pulls their AHL affiliation in a year or two once they get their own operation going. Nobody wants to work with Meruelo. It isnt if, it’s when. Pretty hard to have an AHL team without an NHL affiliate.
Enjoy the 24 – 25 season. I will be shocked if the Roadrunners are in Arizona in 25 – 26.
