Sadly the potato bar and the BBQ pit were victims of the pandemic. Quite literally, in the case of the potato bar I believe. It's a real shame too. I loved the potato bar and the barbecue was located directly below my box and the smell drifting up was heavenly.

The potato bar was gone before the pandemic hit. When Arne was no longer alive to bring potatoes down from "the county" it fizzled out. It was there for a short time after his passing and then it too, died.

An outdoor beer garden in Orono in the winter? I can't see how this could possibly be a problem.

No different than getting a drink at an ice bar at any place in the northeast. If people don't want to stand in the cold to wait for a beer, that solves the problem of responsible drinking lol

Can we kindly ask the Nadeau fam to load up on their way down to Alfond next year?

I really hope they are going to redo the club level bathrooms and make it more premium upstairs as well this summer. I know they are doing the Dexter lounge and it sounds like it's closed next year. They didn't go up on my tickets so there's that.

Yeah.....I'm thinking that if they can squeeze another 50-100 club level seats in addition to the renovated space......it would be worth their while. When I called this morning....they had 1 club level seat available for $2K. I was also pleasantly surprised that season tix remained the same price...there's probably a bit of good will there considering the construction and parking situation next season. They will probably do a pricing structure reset for 2025-2026. Tickets will be extremely scarce next season. I suggest to anyone that gets an opportunity to buy some....grab 'em. I have 1/2 season for Saturday nights.....thank god that I took the plunge last summer when they became available.
 
This beer garden will surely be a heated tent, no worries about drinkin out in the cold like your ice fishing or something.
I won't be in there, for me sometimes a little pregame then just go and watch hockey, none of this in and out of the seat for me.
Hope they dont take this fan experience thing so far it distracts from why we are there, to watch hockey!
The ath dept just needs to focus efforts on keeping a good team on the ice and the ole girl will be full.
