Voters cross-checked a proposed new stadium for the National Hockey League's Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday, rejecting all three ballot measures connected to the $2.1 billion development scheme.
Tempe, Arizona, residents had been asked whether they'd approve of an arena deal that included about 2,000 apartments and several commercial properties. The Tempe City Council had given preliminary approval for the project earlier this year but wisely handed off the final decision to the electorate. Though ballots are still being counted, the tallied results show an apparent defeat for the project, and the team's owner has conceded defeat, reports The Arizona Republic.
