Up Close with the Supporters of Hartford Athletic

Hartford Athletic represents more than just the immediate Hartford community. It's a team for the entire state of Connecticut. Fans travel from every corner of the state to watch the team play at Dillon Stadium.
With six recognized supporter groups, the matchday vibes are more like a giant family reunion. You have the Elm City Casuals and Mad Hat Massive, who hail from the southern parts of the state and boast about the region’s pizza prowess in gameday chants. Then there’s Raza Brava, a group that brings the Latinx supporter experience to Dillon Stadium. East Side Rising calls themselves a 'family of fans' from the eastern stretches of Connecticut. And the supporters from The Boonies are largely from the west while their counterparts from the 19th Regiment make up the immediate Hartford area.
Together, they make up one cohesive supporter coalition that brings the noise in the east end of Dillon Stadium for all 90 minutes.
