According to todays Bangor Daily News, plans are progressing toward building a 7,500 seat arena in downtown Bangor... http://www.bangornews.com/editorialnews/article.cfm/ID/401312/cfid/5688503/cftoken/89900732 Which Alfond events could be shifted to this arena ? Certainly not matches like the out-of-conference games next year against the Little Sisters of the Poor, but certainly you could punch out the extra seats for games against the Univ. of Nocturnal Hijinx I fear the Alfond skybox revenue stream might be impaired by the new arena marketing their luxury boxes to the same clients as now occupy the Alfond heights. Not enough deep-pocket firms in greater Bangor I think could afford two sets of these, and the ticket revenue from only 2,000 +/- extra seats in a new Bangor venue might not be enough to compensate for Alfond losses. Like I've said, my checkbook is ready to purchase a third Maine jersey... BTW, speaking of polls, how about we solicit our own ideas for a new UMass mascot ? I thought they could make money by tieing into the new Press Your Luck gameshow on cable TV and call themselves the Whammies.... I kinda like the red animal that looks like the Tasmanian Devil...
