- Sean Fitzpatrick to Bruce Mandell, his lobbyists and Mike Freimuth (2/7/17)

Important facts:

Mike Freimuth, CRDA’s Executive Director, asks Bruce Mandell of Hartford Sports Group for “Any counsel/advice?” regarding Hartford City FC’s future plans.

Bruce Mandell replies copying Kozak and Salina (his lobbying firm) and Sean Fitzpatrick, the City of Hartford’s Director of Development Services, a CRDA Board Member and member of CRDA’s Venue Committee.

Bruce’s response diminishes the value of Hartford City FC and discredits their ability to “make Dillon what it can and should be.” Bruce makes clear his USL team is the priority but “when the time is right our group would reach out to Hartford FC.”
