NHL – Coyotes to use Arizona State’s new hockey arena for 3 years
The Arizona Coyotes will use Arizona State’s new on-campus hockey arena for at least the next three years while the team looks for a permanent home. Arizona State’s arena will hold about 5,000 fans, easily making it the NHL’s smallest home venue. The Coyotes will begin there next season and the deal has an option for the 2025-26 season. The city of Glendale announced last year it would not renew the annual lease agreement at Gila River Arena for the 2021-22 season.

MLB – MLB keeps spring camps on hold, missing opener ‘disastrous’
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says spring training remains on hold because of a management lockout and his goal is to reach a labor contract that allows opening day as scheduled on March 31. With the second-longest work stoppage in baseball history stretching into its 71st day, Manfred said teams will make a new offer when negotiations resume Saturday for just the fifth economic bargaining session since the five-year labor contract expired. Spring training workouts had been scheduled to start on Feb. 16.

MLB – MLB’s Manfred says sense of urgency in Rays’ ballpark search
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says league officials “have a sense of urgency” to find a new ballpark for the Tampa Bay Rays after scrapping a plan to split seasons between Florida and Montreal when the team’s lease at Tropicana Field expires following the 2027 season. Major League Baseball gave the Rays the go-ahead in June 2019 to explore the two-city plan, then announced Jan. 20 that the concept had been rejected. The Rays are perenially plagued by among the lowest home attendance in the major leagues.
