Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1435659, member: 2141"] This doesn't look good either - the major investor has spent time in jail for embezzlement and Hartford has its own issue with political shenanigans. [URL]http://www.courant.com/community/hartford/hc-hartford-dillon-stadium-investor-1007-20151006-story.html[/URL] Plus, to be honest, I think a 15K soccer stadium in Hartford for NASL is pushing it. Looks like most NASL stadiums seat between 7,500 and 10,000. I think having 3 large outdoor venues within 5 miles of each other is a huge expense and risk - Rent 40,000, NASL stadium 15,000, and the yard Goats Dunkin Donuts park at 9,000. not to mention that the old Rock Cats field (6,100) is not far away and these places also face competition for non-sporting events from XFINITY theater that has an indoor capacity of 7,500 and an outdoor capacity of 30,000.
