It’s not just about “making the
drive” it’s about getting tickets. Since the Alfond is not
almost 100% season ticket seats it is much more difficult to get a ticket.
There are only so many seats at the Alfond. And if you want to see a BIG
game you can pretty much forget getting a ticket.
Anyone know what the actual season ticket
seat percentage is?

I am a Maine
grad who lives in southern Maine.
I personally don’t believe that they should play home games outside of
Orono. If I want to see them play, I can make the trek up, watch a game
and got to Pat’s. The Nebraska Cornhuskers don’t play a
football game in Kearney or Omaha. Notre Dame doesn’t play
home games where a bunch of grads live they play in South Bend and the alumni show up from
hundreds of miles around. The University of North Dakota doesn’t
play in Minot
just so some grads can watch the game. If you want to see the Black Bears
play, make the drive or make the drive to one of the Boston area schools and support them on the
road. I think the Cumberland
County games are
ridiculous.

i'm sure the place would sell out but there is one thing
the cccc doesn't have that the alfond does...a balcony with a bunch of
loud students with viking helmets that have a strainer or 2 taped to it
screaming like they just saw the new hiddeous bananas that makes visitin goalie
wonder why they chose college hockey over backgammon...
Could you imagine this weekend series scenario:
No. Dakota v. Maine
-
Game 1: Friday night, Orono
Game 2: Sunday afternoon, Portland
Do ya think that second game would be a tough ticket also ?
As for Portland:
I'm for two, how about you ?
