Message: [QUOTE="Drew, post: 1595334, member: 3723"] I actually think Kansas City is a fairly accurate comparison for Hartford. Having been there last fall (as well as multiple other times when I lived in St Louis) I'll say that what separates KC and Hartford is something like the power and light district and the amount of youth living in/around the area. If Hartford was able to build a new arena in the Downtown North area by the baseball stadium and new apartments that attracted a young, large clientele it would be awesome for the city. Problem is Hartford is losing the ability to attract anyone let alone young people and the city is going to be almost a BILLION dollars in debt by the end of 2017. FWIW the College Basketball Hall of Fame is also attached to the arena in KC [/QUOTE]
