Message: [QUOTE="fatlucy, post: 3660181, member: 6189"] You misunderstand, I’m not linking CRDA with State funding of UCONN, they’re not related. I was commenting to his point that UCONN is being bled by the State/CRDA which is not true. There is no denying that having games in Hartford are good for the fans that have to drive from Fairfield, Litchfield or New Haven Counties. Who are also the big donors. Most fans don’t have time to drive an hour or two to see a game during the week when they’re working and managing a family. Imagine what the AD would look like without donations. we should be playing in Bridgport regularly as well. The CRDA is not a failed entity. It’s strapped with the XL center, the CT Tennis Center, and a bunch of other “economic development” money losing venues driven by the legislature. CRDA makes money on its core business which is lending and equity positions in market rate real estate development. [/QUOTE]
