Sun Devil Hockey

Westgate is a fun area. My house is 6 miles due north of it Appears Coyotes might be moving out to Tempe in a couple years.
Next year Devils will be in the new arena.

My father-in-law lives in Apache Junction, so Tempe would be better for us. Bit of a pain for you though...

Looks like Oceanside would have a good atmosphere for game night. Otherwise, oof. Good thing the new rink is almost done. Hope we can get back out here next year...

Apache Junction is generally a nice place, scenic, close to lakes on that side of the Valley & the Superstitions. Its got a few iffy and run-down areas like anywhere. I can take the light rail that starts a couple miles north and east of Gila River Arena and ends at Sun Devil Stadium, 2 blocks from the new arena, takes about 1 to 1.5 hours from my house, not too bad. I picked my area based on all my relatives there and high school buddies live within a 4 mile radius. College buddies are scattered across the USA so that had no bearing.

He lives in one of those gated retirement RV communities. But, yeah, we saw some of the more run-down spots.

Nice. We really enjoyed our trip. The wife is already talking about "next time."

Obviously, that trip would have to be scheduled when your team is playing there!!!

Small world. My grandparents, when they were alive, wintered in La Hacienda RV Resort down in Apache Junction. Made it down there once when I was in college and did a driving Spring Break trip out west.
