Why would you guess they started saying this on the ATIS?

My CFII set me up for this during my training (though I no longer recall the details). It was good awareness practice: know where the airport is supposed to be. I noticed lat Sunday that KHFD (Brainard - Hartford, CT) is again broadcasting an ATIS warning about a nearby closed field, Renschler Field. From the air, the closed field is much more noticeable than Brainard. Did somebody try to land at Renschler again?

Geez! I can understand mistaking airports that are only a few miles apart, but these two have a large river between them. Even the navigationally challenged ought to be able to figure out which is which. The closed airport is on the "wrong" side of the river.
