Message: [QUOTE="CTFAN4LIFE, post: 5178118, member: 3328"] Ok, so they oversee three venues (and loan monies to developers to build housing): 1. XL 2. The Rent 3. CT Convention Center The first two don't have a top tier pro team tenant. Most buildings of that ilk don't turn profits. XL has not been upgraded through no fault of the CRDA but rather Fairfield County legislators' opposition. The Rent (another building ignored by legislators) sure would've been much better off if its major tenant of 6 or 7 dates a year could've hired competent head coaches. The convention center is typical of convention centers across the country - they're loss leaders (maybe 10 buildings make a profit). What do you suggest the CRDA do differently? Mind you, I'm not saying they're without faults here and there. [/QUOTE]
