Sun President Jennifer Rizzotti confirmed that the team will remain in Connecticut for the 2026 season, set to play at the Mohegan Sun Arena. This announcement comes after a deal was reached for a Boston-based group to purchase the franchise and relocate it in 2027. Rizzotti emphasized the decision’s significance for the local community and the state’s sports infrastructure.
The team’s continued presence in Connecticut is seen as a positive development for the region’s economy and sports culture. The Boston-based group’s involvement is expected to bring new investment and opportunities to the area. However, the relocation plans for 2027 have raised questions about the team’s long-term commitment to the state.
Rizzotti stated that the team’s decision to stay in Connecticut is based on the support from fans, local businesses, and the broader community. She highlighted the importance of maintaining a strong presence in the state to foster continued growth and development in professional sports. The announcement underscores the team’s dedication to the region despite the potential for relocation in the future.
