There is a growing trend for teams from the CAribbean and Central and South America to play friendlies in the U.S., for both money and exposure to their emmigrant nationals.

That having been said, playing that game in Hartford seems very strange.

I'll be the first to ask.

Why the fuccckkk is there a soccer match five days before the first football game? I would think the mgmt would have learned their lesson and that they're keeping the field off-limits for at least a week leading up to football season.

Curious what a game like this would draw?

What lesson would that be? The stadium was built to be used.

Hartford has a large Jamaican community. It's one of the largest in the U.S. So this game makes more sense than many think.

Plus, the president is from Kenya, so that's a draw (just kidding).

It's a good idea, but it is terrible timing.

Do they paint the endzones with Connecticut & Huskies before or after this demonstration?

At $56 and $36 not well.
