3. Kraft played Rowland

If it was up to Kraft, the Pats would be in Hartford today. Rowland would still be governor if he had all his ducks in a row on this one.

1. that's why I typed "could have been"
2. as many as Indianapolis ... building more hotels is an option too, but only executed by visionaries that put actions to dreams, and squash doubters

When are you running for governor? I'll vote for you. 😀

and yet, the Whalers moved from Boston, to Hartford, then on to an aircraft hangar in NC, if memory serves

The New England Whalers only moved to Hartford via 1 year in Springfield due to being the 4th Garden tenant (Bruins, Celts, and Braves, the Bruins’ then AHL franchise), failing to attract sufficient attendance (less in last seasons than the struggling Braves), and the opportunity to be priority tenant and attractiveness of a then planned brand new Civic Center.

Weren't we talking about the "convenience" of playing in East Hartford versus Storrs?

(But, no, I very strongly doubt that anyone decides to play at Connecticut because they get to play 30 minutes off campus in an abandoned airfield.)
