For whatever the reason there was a short article on the

Hartford Courant editorial page re: the New Britain RockCats. It touts them for having a great relationship with the Twins as evidence by a 20 year lease deal and the new scoreboard they are installing at their place. The interesting tibit was it mentioned that they have already SOLD OUT several dates in April and May. One date is probably their Opening Day which is a day game; smart move--the Defenders open at 6:35PM and it is always cold, cold, cold up there for the home Opener. Another day is probably a school camp date in May. Wonder how the Defenders pre-season sales are going? The promo schedule updates have stopped on the website. I guess that means they have nothing or someone hasn't gotten around to adding the info.
