Demolish TKE and ROTC (find ROTC new digs) and that makes a great spot for additional parking....preferably a parking garage......good spot for it.
Also Crossland Hall could be demolished.....that parking lot next to it could be expanded.....or a parking structure there.....another great location for one although it wouldn't be the most attractive thing to have up on that hill.

Seems like many of the houses have been maintained like sh*t. I don't blame the U for getting rid of the eyesores.

I always heard the soils on Marsh Island were not conducive for parking structure and they would settle/shear faster than other buildings. Though I'm no GeoTech so don't quote me.
I also wouldn't support uprooting long tenured student organizations in the name of parking.

Id heard the same on the soils, then people will argue to the contrary. Maybe it boils down to it being a substantial cost to accommodate the soils. ?? IDK

Yet they are going to be building a massive new arena....on Marsh Island? Go figure. UMaine has a great engineering department....if they can scrounge up the money....they can figure out a way to build a 3 level parking structure.
As far as the organizations go.....huh? If the Greek organizations allow their buildings to look like crack houses.....they don't deserve to have one. That doesn't mean that the organization is axed. And ROTC should have more prominent/centrally located digs anyway.

I wonder if they will charge a fee for the tour? I wonder what would be an appropriate amount per person if they do charge? I would think $10 per person is reasonable. But what about $20 or $30?

That would be a pretty bad look for a public university.
That being said.....I think a cocktail reception that evening with both hockey coaches previewing their seasons and new renovations would be an excellent fundraiser.

Very good question. It isn't listed on the calendar and the link in my email opens a form that autofills my information.
However, you might be able to use this link to RSVP.
It will b e held at the Alfond.

Unless they are holding any back for future sales, every game is sold out (with the exception of a few handicapped accessible wheelchair seats). Stubhub ot Seatgeek will likely be your best bet. If UNH returns any of its allotment those tickets will be on sale the evening of the game at 5PM.UNH fan looking to go to Alfond with my wife for the Saturday Dec 6 game.

Go to reception, and then tour. Then tailgate and football game. Then happy hour with Coach. Sounds like a solid day.

It does....just don't think it is a great idea to charge for it.....do you? Build more demand so you can charge higher ticket prices in the future. Don't make seeing the renovations a pay-for-event. Maybe they will buy tickets to the football game?

I’m not sure. I was more thinking if they do charge, what is an acceptable amount. I think $20 or less would be acceptable for me. Since I go out on my lunch break and am doing well to spend less than $15.
But a combo package would be cool. Tour of Alfond, a beer voucher at the tailgate, and a ticket to the football game for $40. If you sold 250 to people that otherwise wouldn’t go it would bring in $10k and potentially new fans. Might help build up interest in football.
