It improves a lot of student-athlete related facilities in addition to the fan experience. Much is focused on attracting recruits....that is the #1 priority. Maine Hockey fans love Alfond....they don't need a lot of bells and whistles like Portland fans do. Let's face it.....Portland fans...

What does this have to do with the price of tea in China? Cooper Flagg is a one and done in college......yeah he went to his childhood dream school because he had a choice of anywhere in the country to play......he wasn't going to BC (a team that recently lost to Maine) or even UConn (national...

By the way.....no one calls it UMO anymore.....just like no one uses USM-POGO either.

Here is the latest.... https://goblackbears.com/news/2024/3/6/mens-ice-hockey-maine-athletics-announces-renovation-plans-for-harold-alfond-sports-arena-shawn-walsh-hockey-center.aspx

Well good for you. Go BC and UNH.....rah rah! And by the way....you are the one that stated "The latter of which is a level or two above UMO" referring to BC hockey and basketball.....which based on recent results is patently false. I provided the rebuttal with recent head to head results...

Portland is not a college sports town....I'm glad that the flagship is not located there.

Do you really think that UMaine alums want to see BC or UNH athletics? You do know that college sports fans have their favorite teams based on where they went to school and/or grew up with....right? Also.....Maine is at the same level in hockey.....they are in the same league (Hockey East) and...

There are actually 2 ways out....but point taken. The plans for UMaine's athletic campus are massive. For those who haven't been up there in a while.....it will not be recognizable in 5 years. UMaine BOT just approved $27 million for soccer and track plus more parking and new access road...

Is someone having a sale on white paint?

Yeah this one seems worse than normal....but what can you do when Portland doesn't care what buildings look like?

The possibility of flooding still sticks out as a major problem for any development at this site. Hopefully they keep that in mind.

Please correct me if I'm wrong because maybe the state had nothing to do with this......but didn't they open a "Taj Mahal" home for veterans in Augusta a few years ago? https://www.facebook.com/MVHAugusta/ This is not meant to disparage veterans or the need for more housing.....but I hate it...

That's a pretty chunky development. Looks like people won't hear their neighbors above them.

Someone just needs to grease some wheels....

625 space parking garage and a possible dedicated exit off I-295?......Boo! https://www.bangordailynews.com/2024/02/14/portland/portland-education/roux-institute-climate-change-campus-plan/

That's actually pretty decent. I like the fact that it is not overdone. If the design stays intact it will be nice. Please don't start littering it with "public art installations"!

This is an issue in Maine overall. I know that we have bad weather and the money can be tight.....but the maintenance of buildings, public areas and landscape is pretty shoddy. Some plow trucks are operated by idiots and tear up everything. And those in charge of overall upkeep don't seem to...
