The Arizona Coyotes bid for a new arena appears to be dead. In the first release of results from Tuesday s referendum, voters in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe were strongly against three propositions to build a $2.3 billion entertainment district that would include a new arena for the Coyotes.

Tempe voters have apparently voted 'no' on a number of ballot propositions that, together, determined the fate of a development project that includes a new home for the Arizona Coyotes.
