Re: UMaine Athletics gets $90M Gift

Derp, Google is my friend. Apparently they only play half those games in Bangor and the other half are in their current gym on campus which is older and holds 3100 people. It does look super old timey, but having said that, it actually kind of looks fun. I can't imagine that there's huge a fan base ...

Honestly I can't blame them if the money is there. I'd rather play on campus in a building you control than 20 minutes away in a building where you're the tenant. I will say that is a generally poor use of resources in that area to have two similar arenas so close together in an otherwise fairly re...

I'm surprised they are focusing so heavily on basketball facilities, especially when their team is consistently lousy and plays in the AE. Mostly it's weird because I believe at the moment they play down the road in Bangor at the Cross Arena which has got to be one of the nicest venues in that confe...
