• Sept. 30, 2009 - Statement from city of Glendale regarding ruling by Judge Baum
  Throughout this process, the city of Glendale has been committed to protecting the best interests of its citizens, business owners and taxpayers by ensuring the team’s presence in Glendale. After an initial review, Glendale believes today’s ruling by Judge Baum supports these efforts in three key areas:
       - Denies the bid submitted by Jim Balsille on behalf of PSE, which would have moved the
          team out of Glendale
       - Protects the right of the NHL
       - Provides an opportunity for the NHL to re-submit its bid, which Glendale believes in is in
         the best interest of the team and the city
  Glendale is extremely pleased that the court has denied the bid that would have moved the team and pending further legal analysis of the ruling, looks forward to working with the NHL to keep the Coyotes playing in Glendale, Arizona for years to come.

  Glendale is extremely pleased with Judge Baum's ruling. Clearly, the Court recognized the significance of these issues and the unique interests of the City of Glendale and its taxpayers.
