The Tucson Roadrunners' AHL season is on the line Friday at Coachella Valley — right as the famed Coachella music festival welcomes 125,000-plus just a handful of miles up the road.
James Kelley Special to the Arizona Daily Star A diverse collection of groups are playing at Coachella this week, from Bad Bunny to BLACKPINK to Frank Ocean to Blink-182 to the Tucson Roadrunners.
The festival is held over back-to-back weekends — Friday to Sunday, April 14-16, and this weekend, Friday to Sunday. The music festival is at Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, which is 11.4 miles away from the Firebirds’ home of Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert. “I do summer back home, but all those big ones are during the season so it’s kinda hard to go,” Dea said.
The Roadrunners lost game one of the best-of-three series 5-1 despite outshooting Coachella Valley 46-27. Award seasonThe AHL will announce Friday morning the winner of the 2022-23 Les Cunningham Award, given annually to the league's Most Valuable Player. Roadrunners forward Michael Carcone is considered a front-runner, and a Carcone win would make the league's top six performance-based awards a clean sweep for teams from the Pacific Division.
