Yes- I think the field will be moved closer in a few years. It is interesting they already ripped up some of the current track. The current field turf is only a few years old. Maybe next fall they will move the field? Plus the plans did not state if they are using the current stands or new...

Yes the link helps. But I don't think it is updated with the newest site plans.

Is the new track going directly behind the end zone shown in the pic? I read UMaine will now have the track encompassing the future football practice field. It would be nice if they could sneak some bleachers directly behind the goal post here. But it looks like that would be a tight squeeze...

I would not be surprised in 10-20 years a 10-13k seat arena is built in South Portland area- close to route 1 and I-95. Less head aches and larger parcels (5 acres or more) are available It's a shame the midtown property is not looked at. But the NIMBYs from NYC and Boston will lose their...

I live where they installed bike lanes in Manchester (Beech Street). Yes, Crissy, very few cyclists use the bike lanes. However, the bike lanes have helped reduce the average speed on the "Manchester Motor Speedway" from 55-70 MPH to 35-50 MPH. Plus, they help increase property values in...

Great crowd on hand at Fitzy! Are there plans to expand the capacity for soccer games? I know the old capacity was over 6k for American Football. Pawtucket's new soccer stadium is a diamond in the rough and holds nearly 11k. I know URI may play their 2026 home games there when Meade has...

Keep Portland weird, yes even the OG one.

Seriously build the blasted 3300 seat venue so we can get some decent has-been acts in Southern Maine. Now for some anti-hipster fun! Anti-hip/"out of step" acronyms for all the young dudes on here: RAD- "rock against drugs" NERD- "never ending radical dude" Now let's be hip to be square-...

Wow the old Hadlock field looks similar to Gill stadium in Manchvegas. Capacity looks bigger than today's 7k. Great pics!

Are there plans for the new stadium to host American Football? This would be a great place to host the state championship games for soccer and football. Maybe URI can play Bryant here at some point? The price tag seems crazy for a 11k soccer stadium.

I stayed at the Moxy in downtown Nashville TN. What an odd set up. Def for the kids who want to party and socialize.

Love the pocket parks in this area of Portland. This pic in particular gives me Gulch neighborhood section of Nashville vibes. Portland continues to improve its curb appeal!

I am hoping Fitzy will be able to hold some UMaine soccer and football games once the renovation is completed. 10k is a decent-sized soccer venue, but curious how long this league will last.

7 stories appears to be the acceptable size of a building before the NIMBY's and nose bags start to pontificate their concerns on a building being "too tall".

PWM Flyer, I have not seen any plans regarding inside Alfond arena except the ribbon boards, center hung score board, and maybe wifi/ new sound system. Then back when the first renderings were presented, I heard the capacity may be decreased, which would be a shame. Personally I think they...

PlantArch, you are so right! Urbanism is basically a dirty/scary word in the state of Maine. A prime example of Portland right now: "But Portland isnt Boston!"- current Portland resident regarding urban development. Meanwhile in Boston..... "Boston isnt New York City!" Then the forner NYC...

"You are looking live, at a sold-out New Balance Stadium!" City officials should call up the Kraft's and give them a deal they can't refuse for a new Revolution Soccer Stadium. No reason why you can't get the stadium built in Portland. The issue is I don't know where you can build a 15k-seat...

Are they doing any other renovations inside Alfond arena? Adding seats to the upper bowl? I know UNH made sure the Whit had a larger capacity than the Alfond back when it was constructed. But Alfond is such a better atmosphere when its sold out than the Whit. The new scoreboards look great...

Hey for us east coast guys that is absolutely a mountain. Our own mini mountain. Now go hike it :) I hiked to the top in 1994 only to see guys driving up to the summit. Some will argue Washington is more challenging than the trails on the west coast mountain ranges.

I understand Maine is getting a new basketball arena. What are the plans for the Pit? I read somewhere the columns holding up the roof cost too much to replace. The seats look ancient and they no longer have seats/bleachers on the court. Back in the 80s the capcity was around 2200. The old...
