This is the first federally recognized Tribal naming rights deal with a sports venue that houses one of four major professional sports leagues in the country. In September 2014, the Arizona Coyotes, the Gila River Indian Community, and Gila River Casinos agreed to terms of a nine-year partnership agreement that includes the naming rights for the venue. The arena anchors the 223-acre, $1 billion development Westgate Entertainment District, the “crown jewel” of sports and entertainment complexes. Gila River Arena, was the home of the NHL’s Arizona Coyotes, is a state-of-the-art, multi-purpose facility located at Loop 101 and Glendale Avenue.
