The cites of Tempe and Phoenix have been at a feud over the #Coyotes proposal to build a new arena in Tempe. The city of Phoenix does not want them doing it, and Tempe has fired back with legal action.
Interesting situation.

This has been going on for some time, it seems like everything the Coyotes touch turns bad. Bettman fighting to keep the team in Arizona was already a bad look for the NHL as a whole, now this vandalism that causes the press conference to move to a different location makes it look even worse.
Arizona's president and CEO Xavier A. Gutierrez also addressed the need for the change in locations:

Seriously, at this point the Coyotes are doing more harm than good by staying in Arizona, if this continues to escalate, I would imagine it'll only get worse.
