Thinking about the CT ballpark and the PawSox situation, do you have any idea how easy is it for the PawSox to break/buyout the lease?

JimD said:I was recently at a meeting at the Radisson hotel across the street from the stadium site. The site has none of the charm that you think of when your hear 'downtown ballpark'. Barring a massive redevelopment of the adjacent neighborhoods or extensive shuttle service to downtown restaurants and bars, I don't see how this becomes anything more than a self-contained experience that patrons drive to and from.

You done messed up A-A-Ron!So, they seem to have miscalculated how easy a home run would be, and added netting, which is in play:
"Now the question becomes, are people going to want to sit out there?" he said. "I think folks will embrace it quickly."
Yard Goats General Manager Tim Restall agreed, saying the area will be ideal for fans with young children who want a safe place in the park to socialize and enjoy the game.
"It just adds to the ambience. You're behind the net, you have safety checked," Restall said. "We see this as a great asset."

I am thinking of going to the Sea Dogs series in early June....assuming it is at the Dodd. How do you buy tickets? There is no option to do so through the Yard Goats site. What a mess.I write on the .com about the struggles the Yard Goats have had in Connecticut this season.
New Britain now hosts the New Britain Bees - an independent league team. Not to mention the City of New Britain, a blue collar place if ever there was one - hates the Yard Goats. I would imagine Philly like treatment of Santa towards mascots.I suppose that playing in New Britain makes too much sense/would show how absurd the whole fiasco is?
Couldn't Muzzy be pressed back into service? Fond memories of going to games there. They renovated it recently IIRC.
