Badda bing badda boom, there you have it for the most part. Could never understand why people demand a 10th wonder of the world building to watch a basketball game. I go a few times a year and the lights work, the court is the proper dimensions, can clearly hear the PA, men's room clean and the beer is cold.

Not able to figure out why people think I84 is the problem at all. Does it need addressing? Yes but not what killed downtown Hartford. That was decided when the state allowed and wanted revenue from casinos.
Before the casinos every major concert was held in The Civic Center with lessor shows at the Oakdale in Wallingford. Then add in The Meadows just north for outdoor summer shows and you have what we see now. Obviously the Whalers leaving town was also a major hit.

Connecticut rolled the dice and went with the casinos and now they are actually down sizing due to over saturation. This and CT is considering another casino just north of Hartford. Another in the book of things you just can't make up.
