TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Coyotes have submitted a bid for two parcels of a 46-acre tract of land in what could be the first step to landing a permanent home. The City of Tempe said it received one response before the deadline to a request for proposals issued in July for a mixed-use project incorporating a professional sports franchise and entertainment district on city-owned land near Arizona State University. The city legally could not name the entity that submitted the response, but the Coyotes confirmed in a statement they put in the bid. The evaluation process is expected to take several months and will include extensive examinations, with opportunities for community feedback.
