I thought that all of the complaining about the 1998 NCAAs was a bit overrated. Some people in central Connecticut act like they have a God-given right to a covered parking spot within 50 yards of their destinations and direct access to an I-84/91 onramp.
The newest garage in the City (Morgan Street) has about 2,200 covered spaces for only $4 that are barely a five-minute walk from the XL Center, down Pratt Street and Temple Street - and there are probably about 30 restaurants within a three block walk of the XL Center, too. Around that, for most of the games, the office buildings' lots and garages will be available, as well.
I think the building needs replacement but I don't think the surroundings will be an issue for a tournament there.
That said, I don't care if the Big Metro whatever offered to play the tournament in my front yard, I'd drop that league in a second if it meant something (anything) better.
