Message: [QUOTE="browndog319, post: 3192946, member: 7185"] The stadium was built because the Patriots were going to play there. A gazillion years ago, Bob Kraft was pissed at MA because they wouldn’t renovate or give him a new stadium (before they were the winners they are now). So CT lured them to Hartford. We used the NFL quality stadium to cement our plans to go FBS. But it seemed like a fiscally sound plan because Patriots. Well, ground was already broken when MA decided to give Kraft what he wanted. He pulled out of the deal so fast it was shocking. How anyone in that state is a Pats fan is beyond me. They’re the reason we have that stadium in East Hartford and no additional leasees to support it. [/QUOTE]
