====NHL ambitions==== ====NHL ambitions==== Copps Coliseum was built to [[National Hockey League]] capacity and specifications in the hope that it would allow Hamilton to acquire an [[potential National Hockey League expansion|NHL expansion franchise]]. However, said arena is just 36.3 miles from the home venue of the [[Toronto Maple Leafs]] and 57.9 miles from the home venue of the [[Buffalo Sabres]], both of which have opposed an NHL franchise in Hamilton. Copps hosted 8 regular-season neutral-site games during the [[1992–93 NHL season|1992–93]] and [[1993–94 NHL season|1993–94]] seasons, mostly featuring the Maple Leafs or Sabres.

In 2007, Waterloo billionaire [[Jim Balsillie]], co-CEO of [[Research in Motion]], made an offer to purchase the [[Nashville Predators]] for $220 million US. His intention was to move the team to Hamilton and either use Copps Coliseum as a temporary home while a new state-of-the-art arena could be built, or to renovate the Coliseum to bring it up to modern NHL standards. The bid was unsuccessful. In the spring of 2009, the [[Phoenix Coyotes]] filed for bankruptcy and [[Jim Balsillie]] immediately offered a rumoured $212.5 million US, while stating he wanted to move the franchise to southwestern Ontario.<ref>{{cite web |title=Jim Balsillie Puts in Offer on Phoenix Coyotes|url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=277664|work=[[The Sports Network|TSN]]|date=May 6, 2009|access-date=June 10, 2014}}</ref> Balsillie applied for a lease option which, should the relocation have succeeded, would have invoked a 20-year lease for the team to play at Copps Coliseum.<ref>{{cite press release |title=Statement on Copps Coliseum NHL Lease Option|url=http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/May2009/14/c4026.html|publisher=Veritas Communications Inc.|date=May 14, 2009|access-date=June 10, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |title=Jim Balsillie statement on NHL in Hamilton|url=http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/May2009/13/c3731.html|publisher=Veritas Communications Inc.|date=May 13, 2009|access-date=June 10, 2014}}</ref> On May 9, 2009, the [[Toronto Star]], [[Hamilton Spectator]] and others reported that Hamilton mayor [[Fred Eisenberger]] was to meet with a second group interested in securing a lease.
