The Mariners chose The Downs over Rock Row (those were the two supposed finalists) for their new practice/training facility: https://www.marinersofmaine.com/news/2025/10/maine-mariners-announce-plans-for-new-practice-ice-arena-at-the-downs-in-scarborough They've been using the UNE rink in...

So much for that idea. The Mariners chose Scarborough Downs instead.

Were there any updates completed inside the arena itself or was everything limited to the concourses and additions? That's the one thing I noted attending a few games there the past two seasons, how dungy and tired it is getting inside the actual arena.

Maybe there's a slow-play here? If MaineHealth wants nothing to do with a train station at Union Plaza, which really is the only true viable option for a station of any substance along the mainline, then perhaps the platform by Barber Foods could become more of another temporary option until the...

Personally, I'd rather see another breakfast option and another sit-down option (especially one offering breakfast) instead of another grab-n-go option like Amato's. On any given day, roughly 40% of scheduled flights departing the Jetport are prior to 11am. However, the only breakfast options...

I think Executive Sessions are closed doors, right?

Mariners lease at the CIA extended through the 2029-2030 season: https://www.marinersofmaine.com/news/2025/09/maine-mariners-extend-lease-with-cumberland-county

Pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if something is in the works around a redevelopment of the whole complex, especially now that the owner of the Mariners has purchased a minority stake in Hearts of Pine? I had heard from a credible source that the owner of the Mariners was looking to...

Is this building still owned by the police department? Hard to tell from the GIS map or tax records.

I still think one of those parking lots would be a great spot for a brand new state-of-the-art soccer stadium for Hearts of Pine https://archboston.com/community/threads/potential-soccer-stadium-portland-peninsula.6245/page-8#post-467719

I pulled up FlightRader24 a little bit ago and noticed a lot of activity coming and out of Bangor. I count 25 scheduled arrivals and departures today, as well as a ton of private flight activity. I know this is the Jetport thread, but Bangor seems to also be pulling its own weight during this...

Wouldn't a wood-framed hotel be more prone to sound and vibrations transferring between floors? I really hope they've put some thought into sound deadening with this design, especially next to a concert venue and interstate highway.

I was poking around the OE/AAA database to see if they'd be using a tower crane for the Roux steel erection. While one is not being used there, it appears one will be used at this site.

Steel must be coming soon, right?

I've often wondered that. The Kennebec Street side of that building is one of the areas most prone to flooding in Bayside during heavy rain, so it would probably require a significant investment to redevelop. I have to imagine it's a cash cow to the current owners; building probably owned...

OK, I'm an insurance underwriter by trade and tend to be pretty good at math. I'm scratching my head at this math, though. Federated bought the properties in 2016 for $2.3 million. The city is buying them back for $15 million. No improvements were made to the properties. The property value did...

They would also need to shift the eastern runway (19R/1L, which is currently not in use) further east to meet FAA standards for separation of runways in order to reopen that runway. Currently they're only about 500 feet apart. I believe minimum for FAA standards is 700 feet. There is space to do...

They're still planning on moving the field closer to the stands or the stands closer to the field, right? You can still see part of the track at the bottom of the picture.

Challenge is that this argument, while very valid, falls on deaf ears for a lot of people around here (not in this forum, just in general). They don't want height at all. None. Period. To them, the stubby buildings are part of the "character" of Portland, part of it's "charm." They fear Portland...

I actually think that development we're referring to also sits partially in the former ROW.
