Mullett Arena
Mullett Arena is a multi-use arena located at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. The arena serves as the home for the Arizona State Sun Devils. They use the arena for men's and women's ice hockey, women's gymnastics, women's volleyball, and men's wrestling. Since 2022, the arena has been the temporary home arena for the Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL).
They first started to build the stadium in January 2021. The arena opened on October 12, 2022 and the first event was the Sun Devils' Maroon and Gold Exhibition game.[1] The Coyotes had their first game in the arena on October 28, 2022. In their first game, they were defeated by the Winnipeg Jets 3–2 in overtime in front of a sellout crowd.[2]
The arena is named after both Donald and Barbara Mullett, who are two of the university's benefactors.[3]
After their lease ended at Gila River Arena, the Arizona Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL) were in talks with Arizona State University to play at Mullett Arena. On February 10, 2022, a three-year deal was signed by the Arizona Coyotes to play their home games at Mullett Arena.[4]
