Message: [QUOTE="Ts5034, post: 3378332, member: 737"] This is an excellent point, and this is really what the XL argument should be all about. If hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on an XL Center renovation, or building an entire new arena in Hartford, will that investment ever pay off? I still think Mohegan Sun will win over the A list concerts since they can guarantee more money even though the arena holds less, and the Xfinity theatre will always have the top concerts during the summer. That once again leaves UConn as the only real tenant. From a UConn basketball perspective, we always want to consider ourselves as one of the blue bloods of college basketball along with UK, KU, Duke, North Carolina. One thing all of those schools have in common is that they are synonymous with the arena they play in...and each of those arenas are old facilities. I always felt having two home courts just takes away a little luster. [/QUOTE]
