Message: [QUOTE="FDNY99, post: 2350848, member: 683"] Not my wet dream....the XL Center upgrade funding removal is real...be prepared. Benedict is going to have to do some serious spin control with Hockey East if it happens. Remember..Wolfpack can bolt after this year...as of now there is no money to help the city of Hartford stay out of bankruptcy or for the XL upgrade and to cover operating losses. If you think this isn't a possibility you need to start paying attention. The Republicans have made it VERY clear the state isn't in the business of owning a facility like the XL Center. Malloy has to play ball with everyone now due to people crossing party lines on the budget vote. You can go to all the CRDA meetings you want....the news out of Hartford to municipalities in this state is one of belt tightening with little to no funds on the way. If the state doesn't help Hartford stay solvent, they sure as hell won't be funding upgrading the XL Center or even keep it open if it needs $$ to cover operating expenses. [/QUOTE]
