Since I have access to free tickets to XL Center events, I am biased. But, it would be a bad site for the men's tourney

2 1/2 hours for as low at $27 with Amtrak from New York Penn Station to Hartford. Also the residents of CT love the Huskies and will attend this tournament. guess that is why the women's Big East tournament has been held there for the last 10 years

Is that because you have to change trains in New Haven? Seems likes Hartford would be a 30 minutes from NYC?

Amtrak web site shows direct trains or change in Hartford.
Hartford is a 2 hour drive from NYC.

Amtrak is a PITA because the don't have enough trains between NYC and Hartford. When people at my office go to the city, we drive to New Haven to take Metro North or just drive the entire way.
