    Wowzers, that's out of the blue (casino perhaps???) http://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/Hard-Rock-Hotel-and-Cafe-to-Open-in-Downtown-Hartford-Near-Baseball-Stadium-361813251.html

    Of course it is..... I guess a Coors Light pushcart will suffice. I really hope this whole thing doesn't turn out sh***y. http://www.hartfordbusiness.com/article/20150603/NEWS01/150609961/1002

    They should also get the Elks building for continuity: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.7635035,-72.6720623,21z

    That's actually the new UConn Downtown Hartford campus (old Hartford Times building). The UConn Health Center is doing a lot of expanding also in Farmington: http://biosciencect.uchc.edu/patientcaretower/index.html

    Maybe, maybe...... seems to make a lot more sense than in East Hartford. http://www.courant.com/business/hc-tns-bradley-airport-casino-20150424-story.html http://www.courant.com/business/hc-east-hartford-casino-reaction-20150424-story.html

    http://www.courant.com/business/hc-mohegan-sun-south-korea-20150421-story.html Why not at BDL also if they want to block traffic to the Spfld. casino?

    Seriously, those can't be the choices - all pretty awful. http://news.sportslogos.net/2015/03/02/team-name-finalists-for-new-hartford-baseball-club/ blue frogs? choppers? hedgehogs? honey badgers? hound dogs? praying mantises? river hogs? screech owls? whirly birds? yard goats?

    http://sciarch.com/category/1-multi-use-sports-entertainment/ A lot of the sites are in Canada, that would tie with the NHL angle. Hopefully something is happening behind the scenes..........

    http://www.courant.com/business/real-estate/hc-hartford-conn-xl-center-future-study-20150219-story.html Apparently some big meeting tonight to discuss options (tear down, gut, renovate, or leave to rot). Anyone have some inside info???
  14. Theophrastus Bombastus
    Qboda is a done deal, no word on the other two. http://www.chartweb.com/wp-content/uploads/Front-Street-Hartford-Flyer.pdf Also some good info on the apartments.

    http://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-hartford-stadium-authority-0103-20150102-story.html is this for the better? i dunno... starting to get that queasy hartford's-messin'-it-up feeling
  16. Theophrastus Bombastus
    Lots of construction activity going on on the Plaza (besides apartments) - anything major, or just (long-needed) maintenance and repairs?
  17. Theophrastus Bombastus
    Hmmmm, wonder how true this is, and how it will affect the XL Center. http://adimeback.com/uconn-hockey-may-have-new-on-campus-home/
  18. Theophrastus Bombastus
    ...... just sayin', they want to put one on One Tower Square, and I don't think they'll have the room (plus, I don't think they can lower the plaza to street level b/c of the parking garage underneath).
  19. Theophrastus Bombastus
    If the ice rink doesn't work out in that location, a perfect spot would be on Constitution Plaza in between the Travelers Plaza Building and the Hartford Club (if it can support the weight) - they are doing something there this week and it is empty (and looks exactly like the size of a regulation rink). https://www.google.com/maps/@41.7640466,-72.6713372,90m/data=!3m1!1e3

    I'm sure they don't start until the stadium starts...... http://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-rock-cats-hooker-0717-20140716,0,5031261.story

    See post above in Rock Cats... The RFP calls for creation of "a new neighborhood that connects the vibrancy of our urban core and surrounding neighborhoods" with a mixed-use development of at least 300 housing units and townhomes, more than 100,000 gross square feet of ground-floor retail and commercial space - including a supermarket, public open spaces, parking structures, and a 9,000 fan capacity minor league stadium.

    80703171-02114222.pdf Sounds a little more promising...... "...creation of "a new neighborhood that connects the vibrancy of our urban core and surrounding neighborhoods" with a mixed-use development of at least 300 housing units and townhomes, more than 100,000 gross square feet of ground-floor retail and commercial space - including a supermarket, public open spaces, parking structures, and a 9,000 fan capacity minor league stadium."

    http://wnpr.org/post/stadium-deal-not-approved-yet-hartford-goes-out-bid Oh my lord, holy bureaucratic over-overkill (800 pages!). Cool maps and photos though: http://www.biznet.ct.gov/SCP_Documents/Bids/32743/Environmental_Site_Assessment.pdf
