Yes, I know the Insurance City, without having the multiple degrees. I haven't seen the full tour dates but are they playing at the New England Dodge Center Music Corporate Sell Out Shed? I can help with info, what would you like to know?
arlette,
as far as the dodge ram tough amphitheatre goes, i see that it is about 1mi. from the 2 big downtown hotels (hilton and crowne plaza). can i walk to it, like i would like to do, or do they have some kind of ground transport to and from, or is it one of these places where everyone waits in a mile long line in their cars just so they can park it (see nissan, but the line is more like 25 miles)?

You can walk from both but the Crowne Plaza is much closer. About a 15 minute walk. Any of the downtown hotels would be about a half hour walk. Crowne Plaza is on the outskirts of downtown and gets booked up really quickly for shows, so if you want a room, make a reservation ASAP.
Parking/driving is horrendous. The venue is very close to all on the on and off ramps for the major highway through Hartford, so usually, the concert traffic gets mixed up with the commuter traffic. If it's a weekend, you shouldn't have any problem.
