Rent Expansion Bonding Approved

[MattMang23]

You could be right, but is your family friend Jeff Berger or Chris Davis?
Those are the only state reps on the list you provided

Super Sleuth.

I believe the term the twitteratti would use is.... 'head fake'.

"Horse trading" bonds.

All I see is $300,000 for some concrete repairs and some new lights in the parking lot

bonding commission would approve expansion not CT legislature

You need to read between the lines. It's a $3M 10,000 seat expansion.

I'll assume the justification for the increase would need to be in the bonding paperwork and retrievable via FOI?

Sshhh

you don't have to be a DB
The guy's Dad heard something from a bonding committee member
Take it for what its worth
I hope you end up eating crow

My only question - why add 10,000 more seats that will be empty?

More shade?

 

[Adios]

Behind the scoreboard would be stupid. Why block the view of the Hartford skyline?!??

So people can forget what city they're in for three hours and be less depressed.

Of all the things to worry about, getting the funding and approvals to expand The Rent when and if the time comes is not one of them.

Family friend is a CT State Rep and told my father that the bonding to finance the 10,000 seat expansion at the rent was just approved by the state legislature. No idea how this got through in the current fiscal state that CT is in, but at least it will help out UConn. Take this fwiw because my father also said it was going up behind the scoreboard. I said that made no sense and that maybe he mis-heard because there is no way it isn't going to be another deck on the home sideline. Either way, hope this is true and is a sign of other big future announcements....

The only way this is true is if the 10,000 seat expansion includes a new car wash facility built in the foundation below the new seats !

Yeah, I believe the other guy. This guy should get off the internet and get back to work.

[Brettloaf]

Can we delete this thread so that

1. I don't get my hopes up every time I see it
2. We don't feed the TROLL

I heard less during the debate the other night. This post has less meat than a Vegan restaurant in Rome on a Friday during Lent.

Hopefully tis will finally get people out from under the scoreboard and in their seats. Block them. Beautiful.

The Tower building faces Hartford. Specifically designed to reflect gunshot reports back to Hartford'S north end.

Cue conspiracy kitty. It all comes together. Need to add seats to gain admission to B1G. Of course we aren't going to Big12!

Troll. Where's your proof it isn't true??
