The Fed finally made it official that Hartford will get the qualifying game in August. Not a big suprise since CONCACAF already posted it on their site a while back. And from what I've heard the stadium is great. I'll give this decision 2 thumbs up.

Saw the website for the stadium. It's awesome.

40,000, not a bad seat in the house (went to Celtic-Liverpool last summer, trust me). 2 hours or less from Boston, NYC and Providence. 4-5 hours from Philly. 6-7 hours from DC (though Southwest flies 8-10 round trips between BWI and BDL every day).

Its perfect. And I'm not saying that because its only a 45 minute drive for me.

More good news from the website...

Even more perfect since it's 5 minutes from me.
