Message: [QUOTE="giddyup, post: 5052586, member: 11505"] This is a chicken and the egg problem. Rarely does a half-assed job pay dividends. We are competing against new venues that are dropping big $$. Yet, Hartford/CR has no professional team that will draw. The Yard Goats has worked out because it’s a great venue and has managed to sustain interest with low price points and cheeky minor league baseball entertainment shtick. Job 1 ought to be getting an NHL franchise in town that will anchor a real investment in a top tier facility. Also, building a downtown residential population has to be prioritized. Tough problem, but thinking big is likely to work out more than apply band aides. [/QUOTE]
