New Arena Looming?

[whaler11]

And Whalers is the only one talking about Fairfield County. No one is saying to put a team in that part of hte state. I did mistakenly bring Boston into the mix but if he is talking about the Devils then the Bruins have to accounted for also.

I feel New Haven would be the best place logistics wise and Hartford is the other option.

Whalers just sounds like a kid at the park who decides he doesnt want anyone else using his ball and decides to go home. Fact is there is enough population in this area of the country to support 4-5 teams from the Boston-CT-NYC-NJ area.

CT and the tristate area is more than capable having 4-5 teams

By that logic there is enough population to support 5 MLS teams. Or 5 Australian Rules football teams. The population doesn't matter. How much bigger is Atlanta than Winnipeg?

New Haven would be the disaster of all disasters. You need corporations to support professional sports - they don't have any.

I have no idea what your take your ball and go home comment means. I'd love to have the NHL back in Hartford. Barring someone coming buying a team, funding a new arena and moving it here it's not going to happen. So unless you've seen a billionaire hanging around Hartford with a hankering to spend his money on a team and an arena... it doesn't happen.
