I wasn't aware that there would be a temple in Hartford, so it's good to know. It looks like a beautiful building to me, but I'll grant that these things can be somewhat subjective. In any case, from a practical sense regarding athletics, having a temple in Hartford can only mean that there is a significant enough population of Mormons in the area to potentially make a meaningful dent in ticket sales or TV eyeballs, granted that all Mormons are not sports fans, much less BYU fans. It doesn't hurt that the founding of our church was in nearby parts of New England either. That could make an enticing travel destination for many of us. I've been to upstate New York and parts of New England a couple of times to tour those areas for that reason, coupled with a Broadway play or something, and I'm sure many would find a football or basketball game a good excuse for a visit of this sort, perhaps.

But let's not get the cart before the horse. We're not even sure to be in yet, so forgive me if I'm hijacking this thread with my anxiety/anticipation.
