Bridgeport’s 16th schedule includes no St. John’s, but Toronto, Rochester and many more 3 p.m. starts on Sundays than last year. There’s an eight-game homestand and a finale in Wilkes-Barre Township, which, well, if that gets symbolic, we’ll symbolic the heck out of it then.
Still sorting through it myself. More in a bit.
—Alan’s release has it broken down pretty well already. (Eight against Hartford. Wow.)
–Third eight-game homestand in team history. March 3-14, 2004, and March 25-April 7, 2012.
–I got 11 three-in-threes on a quick count. That’s what they had last year, too, which matches their fewest since 2004-05.
–In perhaps-handy texty form:
