Early in the season the Wolf Pack were more in the 2,500-5,000 range. Since UConn left for Storrs, the bump in attendance has been quite noticeable.
Sat January 14: 6,189
Fri Jan 20: 7,032
Sat Jan 21: 4,960
Wed Jan 25: 1,947 (outlier, Wednesday games don’t draw as well as weekends and it was snowing that day)
Sat Jan 28: 6,780
Would love to see the figures for pre- and post-UConn move once the season is over.

Not really great hockey, or comparable to men’s hockey. I saw games when they were at Northford, not very entertaining

Looks like the average is around 4K a game
And 2800 for Bridgeport

Yeah but I don't think it's fair to view it as just Hartford and not CT as a whole. New Haven is like 40ish minutes drive. Why separate the two metro areas? It's really gonna be the CT whalers and that makes sense when you consider other areas that have teams.
Also Cleveland/Cincinnati/Baltimore/Jacksonville/Green Bay/rando Canadian towns/New Jersey! have sports teams lol

I wish uconn mens hockey would get as much attendance as the basketball teams

Hartford is also a shit city compared to other pro sport cities

Ugh. Real estate agents aren’t even legally allowed to say that. Maybe you need a new agent. 😉
It is also possible they are dealing with very dated perceptions of Milford from maybe the 90’s when money hadn’t poured in yet and schools didn’t perform as well as now.

Reply to First eversource bill since raised rates by ColCrockett
Please! Just go with an alternative energy supplier such as constellation etc. You can get a fixed rate plan for 2 or 3 years. If you want to do solar more power to you but you DO NOT need to pay Eversource or UI for electricity generation (though you do need to pay them for “delivery fees”).

This is copium. But if you must live as close to Greenwich as possible then you may as well pay your own mortgage rather than 2x your landlord’s cause you’re going to be paying an inflated rate anyway.

Expands DOT commissioner's authority to use eminent domain to widen and change roadways to include for "bicycle lanes or multi use trails."
Also allows state prosecutors to make someone go to driver retraining.

It also appears to be formally legalizing something that everybody does already, which means less arbitrary policing, which (imo) is always a good thing.

Seems like every state that does it likes it and more states keep doing it.

If you can afford to buy, then buy. House prices there will always rise. Unless you buy more than you can maintain. It's a solid market, particularly in lower FC.

>The Idaho stop is the common name for laws that allow cyclists to treat a stop sign as a yield sign, and a red light as a stop sign. It first became law in Idaho in 1982, but was not adopted elsewhere until Delaware adopted a limited stop-as-yield law, the "Delaware Yield", in 2017. Arkansas was the second state to legalize both stop-as-yield and red light-as-stop in April 2019. Studies in Delaware and Idaho have shown significant decreases in crashes at stop-controlled intersections.

For those that don't know, the Idaho stop allows bikers to treat stop signs as yield signs
(I didn't know and just googled it myself, so I thought I'd save someone a click or two).
