Keep the Sun in Connecticut
WNBA Board of Governors; Mohegan Tribe
The Connecticut Sun are more than our team — they’re family. For over 20 years, fans have filled the arena, built one of the WNBA’s most loyal followings, and made the Sun the league’s first profitable franchise.
Now, the WNBA is pressuring the Mohegan Tribe to sell the team to Houston and at a lower price than Hartford is offering. Moving the Sun out of state would betray decades of fan support and sever one of the WNBA’s strongest fan growth pipelines — from UConn to the pros.
If the Sun can't stay at Mohegan, Hartford is the right and obvious choice: a proven women’s basketball market, right down the road for loyal fans, and a larger arena and stagetvn worthy of this team.
Keep the Sun in Connecticut. Choose Hartford.

We write to you as fans, season-ticket holders, and lifelong supporters of women’s basketball.
Connecticut is the fans’ choice — and the league’s best bet.
The Connecticut Sun are one of the WNBA’s great success stories — the first profitable franchise, perennial competitors, backed by loyal fans for more than 20 years. Relocation would betray that trust and weaken one of the league’s strongest foundations.
The UConn–WNBA fan pipeline is too valuable to the league to sever.
Connecticut is women’s basketball country. The Sun’s roster features UConn greats, and the fan connection is unmatched. Moving the team out of state would sever the league’s most reliable growth channel.
Keep the Sun where women’s basketball already sells out.
Hartford offers a bigger arena, a record of selling out women’s basketball, and easy access for the Sun’s season-ticket holders.
The WNBA grows stronger by honoring its history.
The Mohegan Tribe has been a steady steward of this franchise. If they decide to sell, they deserve the freedom to make the most profitable choice without league interference.
We urge you to choose Hartford. It rewards loyalty, preserves the league’s best growth market, and secures a stronger future for the Connecticut Sun.
