The Coyotes and Gila River Casinos have agreed on a nine-year partnership that will include the first naming-rights deal by a federally recognized tribe with a venue for one of the four major professional sports leagues.

The agreement must be approved by the Glendale City Council during its meeting Sept. 9. The venue, which had been called Jobing.com Arena, will be known as Gila River Arena if the deal is approved.
