It's Week 2 of the Mailbag! If you want to submit a question to the mailbag, click here. Let's get to your questions:

@DamonTweet asks, "What is @Giussi92 (Giuseppe Gentile) favorite type of pizza?"

Giuseppe: My favorite type of pizza is Gluten Free Margarita. I am going to have to get down to New Haven to get some of that pizza the Supporters sing about though!

Meghan C. asks, "Do you give out tickets to special groups like group homes or nonprofits?"

We are very proud of our Community Ticket program where over the course of the 2019 season we will donate over 2,000 tickets to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hartford and youth who may not otherwise have an opportunity to attend a match. You can read more about the program here. In honor of Memorial Day Weekend, and in recognition of all those that serve and protect, we'll be giving a free ticket to our May 25th match to all Military and First Responders. Sign up here.

@CTSoccerMike asks, "Would you rather play against 11 duck-sized horses, or 1 horse-sized duck?"

Front Office: H/T to Mike for asking the weirdest question two weeks in a row.

Coach Nielsen: I mean, this is pretty easy, I'm taking 11-on-1 rather than 11-on-11 every time. Plus I don't think ducks can kick very well with their webbed feet.

Dan J. asks, "Has there been any thought about a working arrangement with the Revolution?"

We strive for strong relationships with all the clubs in our region as we look to grow the game and provide the highest level of play for our fans. We do not currently have any formal affiliation with any MLS club. We are always in active conversations with clubs around the world (MLS or otherwise) regarding players as we look for a competitive advantage for our organization. Above all, we are, and always will be, Hartford's club and are excited to bring professional soccer to the state.

@plostrappo99 asks, "Best thing about Hartford so far?"

Coach Nielsen: The support we've seen for both our team and our sport here in Hartford has been phenomenal. Our supporters groups have created incredible environments at all 3 home matches. People in the community come up to me and tell me how excited they are about our team and soccer. Hartford is clearly a soccer city that's been ready for pro soccer for a long time, and we're happy to be a part of the group that brings it to you.

NEXT HOME MATCH:

Be sure to join us on Saturday for a special Memorial Day weekend match against Ottawa Fury FC. All Military and First Responders will receive a free ticket to the match! Visit hartfordathletic.com/mdw for more information on redeeming your ticket. Fans looking to purchase a ticket can click here.
