Will Scottsdale's City Council oppose the Coyotes arena project? It depends

Scottsdale City Council members share some of their mayor's concerns about the Arizona Coyotes' plan to build an arena in northeast Phoenix near their city's border, but none is even close to being as strongly opposed to the development as the city's top official was earlier this week.

The proposed project is for about 100 acres of land near Loop 101 and Scottsdale Road, on the Phoenix side of the Phoenix-Scottsdale city line. The NHL franchise wants to turn it into a $3 billion entertainment district with restaurants, stores and apartments, as well as a 17,000-seat professional hockey arena.
