UMaine Offseason...Belly Up to the Barr Boys

Does anyone know how season ticket sales are going? Seems like there is quite a bit of buzz for this team and season.

From talking to the ticket office. Sales have gone very well in season tickets/half tickets on Fri.-Sat...and flex 5 game plans....should be a solid attendance for most games.

When I look on the website it still looks like there are quite a few seats available. My guess is it’s better than the recent past but nowhere close to where it was back in the day. It seemed like Saturday’s were a lot more packed than Friday’s last season.

They'll be fine in attendence...and if they win home and away they will pack the building...this team/Coach has the fans attention.

The new scoreboard is huge and looks great! The ribbon board by the students looks good too as well as the new scoreboard above club level. Not to mention the sound system is fully replaced with 60 new speakers! I think this will really help the Alfond be more modern and provide a much better atmosphere, like an announcer you can understand over the PA, lol!

That's a plus and great news....

Wouldn't count on PA being better, haven't they upgraded the system many times in past and it still sucked.?

Well let's HOPE for the best, this time around maybe they hit a home run....would certainly be a plus and add to the arena. Think positive this time.

yup. every time they did it just got louder but still muffled.
hope they dont go the route of just playing lots of really loud music. rather listen to the band

I'm hoping the music is just before the game like it is now, and mixed in, and the band the rest of the way.

I winced when I saw the ribbon in front of the student section. Hopefully it is a good change but I always found the old fashioned signs very quaint.

I think the money would have been better spent on the player facilities but hopefully it makes for a better atmosphere.

Same here, not a fan of the music. There is nothing worse than that opening video package and the band starting halfway through it where it all sounds like a jumbled mess.

Hopefully the band is back in their regular spot this season.

Alfond is acoustically challenged

I don’t think a new scoreboard does a thing to help Maine hockey so I agree.
