We don't have much else in the way of "big time" professional sports since the Hartford Whalers left for the hockey "hotbed" of North Carolina. We don't have much to choose from: the WNBA Mohegan Suns (women's basketball, in the summer, at a casino), Hartford Wolf Pack AHL hockey, a few minor league AA baseball teams (good value for your buck), three "minor league" NASCAR race tracks, the Travelers PGA Championship (no Tiger yet), the Pilot Pen WTA, and ATP Tennis Championship, and not much else.
You forgot the Southport Yacht Races
