I did a distance measurement and it will 26 miles from where the current area is in a straight line. Looking that the highway that gets out there probably 35-45 miles outside of downtown Atlanta.

I'd do Kansas City if I got to choose.  Best choice for many reasons.  But there's huge potential for real growth of the game there because it is so close to some markets where hockey is a huge deal.  Great for league travel as well.  Multiple potential rivalries.  Just look at a map... and they already have an arena in place, so no need for a billion dollar investment.  Also no competition from the NBA.

A daughter attended Emory, which is in N. Druid Hills, which is not as close to downtown as it looks, if you go by driving time.   Alpharetta is a haul from the city, but the money in that town is north and west (Buckhead).

Interesting topic of conversation down at ASU.  Hopefully ASU remains "like minded" after they hire their new AD.  

 

I'm going to go ahead and assume having the Coyotes playing 40-some on campus has a larger economic impact on the school and area than 7 football games. Obviously it's not a permanent situation but he doesn't include that in his calculus.
