Arizona's terrible NHL team is stuck using a college arena for its games as it awaits a public vote.
In May, voters are set to decide the fate of a $2.1 billion plan that includes a new Coyotes arena.
It's the latest example of taxpayers being asked to pay for stadiums with little chance of ROI.

The American sports world will soon turn its attention to Arizona. Glendale is ready to roll out its welcome to the nation's new national pastime as the Super Bowl comes to town.
