RPI 2023 Off-season: We March Fourth Into the Off-season

Interesting. That is a prime piece of real estate -- 12+ acres in the heart of downtown and adjacent to other redevelopment (condos/apartments, retail) is already happening. Should fetch a a good dollar.
Based on what the article says, it sounds like RPI is working with the city as they target potential projects/developers. I have zero hope the funds garnered would be rolled into HFH, but who knows ! Ha ha

Hartford suffers from the effects of 50s and 60s era transportation policies. Just like I-787 in Albany, Hartford is separated from one of its greatest potential assets, the riverfront, by I-91. Then, the downtown was separated from the North End by I-84. There has been a lot of development in the last 15 years in the downtown (in particular, thousands of apartments to re-establish a population base), but the North End was mostly abandoned parking lots, warehouses/processing plants and RPI. Since the new ballpark opened about 5 or 6 years ago there has been a shift in activity north of the highway. A couple of adjacent parcels have been developed and more are planned (some on hold because of legal action by the original developer that ran out of money but blames everyone else). The RPI property is on the far side of the ballpark but a logical candidate for the next round of development. It will probably take several years to find the right use and developer, but it's too significant a property to not get it right.

I guess we can use that even if nothing happened until 2025.

For as long as I can remember the school seal says 1824. Even if classes didn't actually start until January 1825, the first academic year (admittedly, I'm not sure they even recognized that modern concept 200 years ago) would still be 1824-1825. Thus 2023-2024 is the 200th academic year. That's our history, however fanciful, so let's run with it. You can be sure Harvard doesn't sweat the number of significant digits and proper zeroing of their "we are the oldest" measuring tools.

Edit: The comma is unnecessary. RPI 2023-2024: In our 200th year we are getting it right

Wikipedia suggests that the school was established in late 1824, but did not start operating until 1825. I thought some of the longer-tenured participants on this chat board might have been around to see it ;-)

If I recall correctly I might have been dating Dolly Madison during that time period. Pretty hot lady who made some really neat ice cream!!
 
I showed up at RPI in the Fall of 1984 and remember getting a piece of cake celebrating the 160th year since founding. So yes... there is another year to go. Interestingly, if we compare the RPI bicentennial to America's we get a parallel of Nixon resigning in 1974 (year 198) and Shirley leaving in year 198 also. In year 199 (1975), Monty Python's Holy Grail came out - as did Jaws. Hopefully our 199th will be equally as fruitful and entertaining.

RPI year199: We're going to need a bigger rink!
 
Muzzatti attended the recently completed Preds development camp. Due to a deep Calder Cup playoff run, their AHL players did not participate ...which made for a smaller roster and allowed the players much more coaching and interaction with the coaches. The story I read said they turned the camp into a teaching/skills event, vs. their usual conditioning focused event. i bet he learned a ton of good stuff...
