I wish it weren't true but Hartford is just the sort of place that gets the occasional Arena football / CBA / indoor soccer team and can't even make those work.

I do miss hearing Brass Bonanza rather than a fog horn for goals scored though. The AA team in Hartford plays it for home runs which keeps the spirit alive at least.

It's media market is bigger than Buffalo, KC, Vegas & Columbus. So while I'm not surprised they don't have a team, I'm surprised no one is evidently trying.
