Which is still less time than it's taking the Hartford Yard Goats, mind you.

That's lead to a couple of interesting attendance stats for this season. Because the stadium isn't ready, the club has had to play home games either in the 'visiting' team's park, or at a 'neutral' site (usually the park of another club in the Eastern League).
Specifically, there's been these:
Thu. June 23: Richmond at Hartford (played at Manchester, NH); attendance, 76
Tue. June 21: Richmond at Hartford (played at Manchester, NH); attendance, 50
Sat. July 30: Harrisburg at Hartford (played at Manchester, NH); attendance, 46
Thu. July 28: Harrisburg at Hartford (played at Manchester, NH); attendance, 26
Fri. July 29: Harrisburg at Hartford (doubleheader; played at Manchester, NH); attendance, 9
