Amid all the big-idea talk about hauling in a pro sports franchise to Las Vegas, one athletipundit proposes we take baby steps: Start small with a pro hockey team and clamber our way up to pro football. And whaddya know, the Phoenix Coyotes are kinda available. From The Faster Times:
I understand how much Canada loves their hockey. I know that giving our little sister to the north another team would likely result in fine attendance numbers. However, there is a city not far from Phoenix that is more desperate for a major sports team than any other city in the world: Las Vegas. Sin City would be the perfect home for the Coyotes. The city of Las Vegas has been begging for a major sports team for years. An NHL team would be a perfect fit.
