Coach Greg Vanney familiar with Toronto FC’s home away from home in East Hartford

Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney and GM Ali Curtis sat down for a brainstorming session at the MLS is Back Tournament in Florida, wondering about possible places to play if the Canadian border remained closed.

Curtis, a native of Ann Arbor, was thinking of possibilities in Michigan. Vanney offered up Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Conn., having played there with the U.S. national team.

It’s also familiar ground for team president Bill Manning, a native of Massapequa, N.Y., who played soccer at the University of Bridgeport — 80 kilometres from East Hartford.
