With Proposed Hartford Stadium Come Questions, Concerns, and Criticism

When officials from the City of Hartford announced it would build a Minor League Baseball stadium, many people were caught by surprise, including Hartford residents.

This hour, talk with the opponents and observers of this stadium and of the Rock Cats' planned move from New Britain to Hartford.

We also get back to the Hardware City’s industrial roots. We hear stories from people who worked in the factories of New Britain. It’s part of an ongoing exhibit called Nuts & Bolts at the New Britain Industrial Museum.

GUESTS:

  • David Panagore - Former Development Director for the City of Hartford
  • Ken Krayeske - Attorney and part of the Hartford Coalition to Stop the Stadium
  • Eric Coleman - State Senator representing Hartford, Bloomfield, and Windsor
  • Adrian Baron - Attorney and Executive Director of the Polonia Business Association
