The point of the reference is that we don’t have a D1 lax team. Seth McFarland is from Connecticut after all. It’s the same reason Wichita State football has been referenced on the show - it doesn’t exist any longer

I didn't realize McFarland was a Connecticut guy. Somebody needs to reach out to him regarding the Hartford Civic Center naming opportunity. The Family Guy Center would be awesome, but "The Orville Arena" would be entirely acceptable.

The "Shut up Meg" Center?

Then you'll want to check out the Thanksgiving episode where Peter and Brian go to Highland Park Market in Manchester to pick up the turkey...

I heard that the real life basis for Peter Griffin was from Manchester.

You are correct. And he went to college at Rhode Island School of Design which explains the Rhode Island references.

"Connecticut" guy but made his show take place in RI

 

[Fairfield_1st]

He went to college in RI, I think.
How about the "A Million ways to Lose in CR" Center?

Because he spends every show mocking Rhode Islanders?

The accent and the behavior is far more reflective of Rhode Island. Rhode Island is a really interesting place full of characters. It’s truly unique.
