Tempe Extends Deadline To Submit Bids For Sports Venue

The Arizona Coyotes, and any other professional sports group hoping to build a new home and entertainment district in Tempe, have until early September to submit a bid.

The city has extended the deadline for pitches to redevelop nearly 50 acres of land at Priest Drive and Rio Salado Parkway.

Officials clarified that proposals should come with a full public safety plan that includes an estimated cost for police, fire and medical rescue.  

Matthew Casey has won Edward R. Murrow awards for hard news and sports reporting since he joined KJZZ as a senior field correspondent in 2015.
