I'd be curious how they planned to add 5k seats to the Coliseum. Interesting blast from the past. Went to many a Roadrunner games back in the late 70s/early 80s. My grandfather took me often until we moved to Tucson when I was a kid.

From The Archive: Phoenix Disappointed Expects to Make NHL In Expansion for '76

“Disappointed but definitely not discouraged,” is the way Phoenix Roadrunners’ president Jim Wells described rejection by the National Hockey League.

The Roadrunners were one of 10 applicants for NHL franchises for the 1974-75 season. The franchises went to Washington, D.C., and to Kansas City, Kan.

As the Roadrunners view it, no other club is as ready right now. The market is hockey hungry, the Veterans Memorial Coliseum board has promised an addition of 5,000 seats, pushing capacity to over 17,000 and the Roadrunners have far more than the required financial backing.

Looks like the Coyotes moving to Salt Lake City is picking up quite a bit of steam.

Cool.

I was a fan of them moving to Hamilton, ON. The Leafs cancelled it.

The future for the Roadrunners staying in Tucson does not look good.

Roadrunners officially relocating to Tempe. Tucson out completely.

I've been in Utah all week but I'm burning all my Coyotes and Roadrunners gear as soon as I get back. Fuck Alex Meruelo and SLC.
