Tempe Mayor Neil Giuliano has sought the support of mayors in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale and Queen Creek on two sites in the East Valley that have been proposed for the 73,000-seat stadium: one is in Tempe and the other one is along the border between Tempe and Mesa. Regardless of which site night be selected, the entire East Valley would benefit, he says.
"This is not so much for finances as the symbolism of this being a regional project," he says.
A city could contribute to the millions that it is expected to take to develop the infrastructure for the stadium, Giuliano says. "If a city want to contribute over the long term, then they can share in the revenues," he adds.
