    The Roux institute is a game changer by creating skilled labor positions and bringing students from all over the world. I would not be surprised if the greater Portland area's populations accelerates similar to Boston in the next 20-30 years. The secret is gone, Portland is the place to...

    100 Fore Street | Portland

    Look at those beautiful power lines! Now that is not natural art! The art gallery looks great. I was stuck at an Aroma Joe's in Manchvegas and they were telling me they plan on finally opening one on the peninsula - I had asked why there is not one in downtown Portland, but Portland is their...

    Hobson's Landing | Aloft Hotel | 383 Commercial Street | Portland

    I currently live in Manchester, NH. The urban "foot print" of Portland is much bigger than Manchester . Manchester now has a population of 115k, which on paper sounds huge as I see entire peninsula is downtown when I drive around Portland. I have mentioned before where Manchester has a feel...

    Rock Row (née The Ridge, née Dirigo Plaza) | Westbrook, ME

    I was hoping for an actual new arena that seats 11k with all modern amenities that would draw interest from the NCAA for hockey and basketball tournaments (Go Black Bears). I keep forgetting they renovated the CCC this past 10 years. I think the seating capacity of the CCC or Cross Insurance...

    Old Port Square (née Canal Plaza) | Portland

    That's a shame given how the new green deal of Portland Maine will make a project of this size much more challenging to complete in a timely manner.

    Old Port Square (née Canal Plaza) | Portland

    Any new updates on this project? I am curious if the current application will expire soon. Hopefully this tower gets built. I like the design. Plus Portland could use this type of urban housing.

    Portland, ME - New Construction Continued

    I made the mistake of spending time in West Texas (Lubbock, Odessa, and Amarillo) where looking at the population was giving the impression of a true urban core/downtown area. I was dead wrong, their downtown's were similar to Derry, NH and Willimantic, Connecticut. Maybe add a couple "high...

    Portland Foreside | 58 Fore Street | Portland

    The architecture of this building reminds me of Memorial Coliseum in Portland, OR. This area would have been a nice area for a new 12k seat arena. But instead we get a shiny new office building looking like it should be in an office park in South Portland 😄

    Potential Soccer Stadium | Portland peninsula

    While a larger capacity (20k) would help attract bigger name acts for concerts and festivals, 8-10k is about the right size for a minor league soccer team. I really think both proposals look great. The Preble street one definitely does better for showing off Portland's water front (all you...

    Worcester Ballpark & Redev

    I completely agree with you. Take away the luxury boxes and party decks and left with 6k seats? McCoy at least had some character and quirks to it that were old timey. Not sure why the capacity is not BIGGER than McCoy, as you could probably get 12k-13k for attendance during the mid Summer...

    Worcester Ballpark & Redev

    Did they make this stadium so it can be expanded? What is the logic with only having 6k for actual seating when McCoy stadium was bigger. I get the whole luxury seating but just seems th capacity is really small for AAA.

    Worcester Ballpark & Redev

    F-Line being 43 I remember those days of only being able to see the Sox on TV38. Sometimes if it was a big Saturday matinee game I would try to decider through the scrambled static on NESN and listen to Jerry Remy and Mr.Coleman as I was never a Joe Castiglione fan. I am interested how many...

    Worcester Ballpark & Redev

    Worcester is a city built on corruption and backroom deals. This ballpark should have been built in 2 or 3 other desirable neighborhoods than on a pigeon hole from hell. I was shocked that they squeezed this ballpark in a neighborhood that is more frustrating to navigate than challenging...

    Portland, ME - New Construction Continued

    Wasn't the game plan was the past renovation to the Cross Insurance Center was for 15 years? I understand this is an arena but having them attached or close by each other. Basically until a new arena convention center is built. I think a full-scale call convention center could be built on or...

Looks great, I am skeptical that Manchester officials...

    Alfond Foundation $500 Million gift to multiple Maine entities

    Vermont's new basketball facility is close if not the exact capacity as Patrick grmym- roughly 3200. But the new Tarrant center will have luxury boxes. I don't see how they could have a graduation here unless it is for one of the schools- nursing, engineering, Biology, ect.

    Alfond Foundation $500 Million gift to multiple Maine entities

    Being a numbers guy, I am curious how large the new basketball arena will be. I do see some wasted space behind the baseline/basket near the football end zone. Guessing 3,500 at the most. Again my concern is this facilities may be inferior if they move conferences in the next 10 years. Football...

    Alfond Foundation $500 Million gift to multiple Maine entities

    I find it interesting that UMaine will not have an outdoor track. Yes 400 meter is the standard for an outdoor track for both Highschool and College. But for indoor 300 meter is not common but highly desired as it useful for time trials regarding indoor track.

    Alfond Foundation $500 Million gift to multiple Maine entities

    Everything looks like an improvement except Alfond Arena. I was hoping for a new roof that does not negativly affect the sight lines and reconfigured the upper seating so there is a concourse going around the entire arena. When conference realignment shakes down again in 4-5 years they will...
