You may have recently heard about the plan for the state to borrow and spend $250 million to renovate the XL Center so it can be used as the home site for the majority of UConn men’s and women’s basketball games and for the UConn men’s hockey team. The XL Center would also continue to host some music concerts as well as family shows, motor sports, trade shows, conventions and community events.

Some like the idea of having the state pay for improvements that will benefit downtown Hartford businesses, draw people into Hartford and provide more entertainment for young Hartford residents.
Others worry about the $250 million price tag. Some people argue that we cannot afford this cost when we are cutting the state budget in many other areas.
