@nhrJoeMorelli Great, great coverage as always! In regards to your photo of the court...what logos will be on there in 2027??? Most likely not WNBA/CT Sun sadly.

We'll be the first one to throw this out there...Morelli Court!

[CT Starters AAU @ctstarters]

@MetalNED @ciacsports @MoheganSun Do you happen to have the attendance breakdown by session, as well as 2 day totals for past 4-5 years? This numbers nerd is always curious lol. PS: keep up the entertaining tweets!

[CT Starters AAU @ctstarters]
