While the stadium has succeeded in bringing crowds of more than 6,000 fans to downtown Hartford, a dispute over cost overruns and delays with its construction – and the city’s decision to fire the original developer, Middletown-based Centerplan Cos. – remains mired in controversy. A major piece of the lawsuit was resolved in October, when the City Council approved a $9.9 million settlement with Centerplan and an insurance company. The city also withdrew its counterclaim. The agreement enabled the city and other defendants to be withdrawn from the case. Also, it allowed Stamford-based developer RMS Cos. to begin constructing a 228-unit apartment building and parking garage on a lot across from Dunkin’ Park, one of the properties involved in the dispute. But it did not settle claims between Centerplan and project architect Kansas City-based Pendulum Studios II.
