expansion and relocation proposals often came with a new arena proposal especially after the departure of the supersonics in 2008 to oklahoma city. from 2012 on as the nhl's interest in seattle as a market rose, the city was positioned as a locale for expansion or a relocating team pending a viable arena. multiple reports suggested chicago wolves owner and businessman don levin had expressed interest in building a new arena in nearby bellevue that could host an nhl team. on february 16, 2012, a plan was announced to build a new arena in seattle's sodo district, just south of safeco field. an investment group, headed by hedge-fund manager chris hansen, proposed the arena seeking a return of the sonics and was interested in possibly having an nhl team as well. when greg jamison was unable to meet a deadline to purchase the phoenix coyotes on january 31, 2013, speculation began that the team would be relocated to seattle. on june 16, 2013, it was confirmed that the phoenix coyotes would be moving to seattle if an arena deal between the team and the city of glendale was not reached. ray bartozek and anthony lanza would purchase the franchise for $220 million and immediately begin operations in seattle for the following season. however, on july 3, 2013, the glendale city council narrowly voted 4–3 to keep the phoenix coyotes in glendale. a 2013 study by nate silver concluded that seattle had the largest number of avid ice hockey fans of any u.s. media market that did not have an nhl team.
