Glendale approves lease agreement
TheFourthPeriod.com

After more than three years of ownership insecurity and two Glendale City Council votes in the past few months, the Phoenix Coyotes have finally struck a deal.

The City of Glendale has approved a 20-year, $320 million arena-management deal and lease to allow former San Jose Sharks executive Greg Jamison to keep the Coyotes in the desert.

The Glendale City Council voted 4-2 in favor of the agreement that will help the team stay in Jobing.com Arena and hand over duties of managing the facility to Jamison. The package is expected to pay Jamison approximately $15 million annually to help run the arena.

Jamison has until January 31, 2013 to close on the sale of the team and deliver $170 million to the NHL or else the process will have to begin all over again.

The League has been looking to sell the Coyotes for three years after it purchased the team for $140 million in 2009 when the former owner filed the franchise into bankruptcy.
