The Patriots had a legally binding contract (although I will default to the Yard lawyers on this) for one year with the city of Hartford. Intention or not, it is my understanding that as long as ground was broken and construction started on a new stadium within one year of their agreement, the Patriots would move to Hartford. The agreement had in place an opt-out if the stadium wasn't started within one year and we all know how that turned out.
And this is a UCONN board. We're not here to discuss financing costs for education, roads, or public services. We're here to discuss UCONN. Of course I know that 100% of the Connecticut's money won't go to UCONN but I'm not on this site to discuss what those other options are. I am here to talk UCONN. If you want to talk about what interests constituents in this state, those types of discussions take place in the Cesspool. Feel free to take it over there (where I will not care to join you one bit).
