After starting the season with six road games, the Coyotes make their home debut against the Jets at the newly opened Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona.
, but as a stop-gap they struck a deal with Arizona State.It may be small, but Mullett is also the nicest college arena in the country because the Coyotes know they'll be there a while and helped build it out accordingly.
Ownership spent roughly $30 million on a two-story annex with two NHL-caliber locker rooms and other team facilities, which should be completed for their next homestand in December. They also funded other key upgrades to make it NHL-ready, including a replay booth and the pipes beneath the floor to ensure ice quality.The cozy confines should create a fun atmosphere, particularly after the Coyotes averaged just 65% capacity at their 17,000-seat arena last year.and says it will make 50% more on season tickets than in any year at Gila River.
There will also be a student section for every game, with 400 tickets available at just $25–$50 each.
