Builders facing Tuesday deadline to finish Hartford stadium

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) The developers of Hartford's new $65-million minor league baseball stadium has until the end of Tuesday to get the park ready for delivery to the Double-A Yard Goats, or face more than $2 million in financial penalties.

DoNo LLC and Centerplan construction signed that deal in January after it became apparent they would not be able to finish the park by opening day, or within the original $55 million budget.

The team, which is currently playing home games 40 miles away in Norwich, hopes to have its home opener on May 31, but has said it needs at least two weeks to prepare for the game.

The Eastern League also must deem the park ready for play.

Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin says he's hopeful the deadline will be met.
