I’m struggling to understand your reference to, “rules, conditions and amenities,” other than the problems associated with the lack of a quality practice facility, a problem shared by a number of teams in the W, and one that the Sun’s ownership has committed to resolve at some point in the future. I get it. Who knows when that will happen.

Beyond that, the hard salary cap is the same for every team in the W, so it is what it is. Please inform me what you are referring to relative to problems with “rules and conditions” that would cause Sun players to look for greener pastures elsewhere?
My friend, it’s all about location, perks and benefits. All team players are Mohegan Sun employees. So the players are mandated to follow all casino employee rules and regulations. The nearest airport or ports are an hour away. Very little to no social life. You can only go the Mystic Seaport and the Aquarium so many times. So for players to go out and enjoy they either take the train or drive to Boston or NYC. Their locker rooms are old. Am not sure when the last time that they were updated. No mass transit. The tribe has more than enough wealth to attach or make a true practice facility at anytime.

They need an owner willing to invest in the team like the Liberty have.

Thanks, I learned something. However, while I no longer live in CT, having grown up there, I have a great appreciation for the Seaport, Aquarium and the sub base, as well as boating and fishing on the Sound, hanging out at the beach, etc.
