Hartford Blues of the National Football League played only in the 1926 NFL season. They had a record of 3-7. The team was based in Hartford, Connecticut but played at the East Hartford Velodrome, a bicycle track just across the Connecticut River in East Hartford that had recently been built. The Velodrome was an oval with about 8,000 seats around the banked wooden track. There was enough room inside the track to lay out a football field.
