The initiative honors Harold Alfond's legacy of support for Maine education and athletics by providing modern facilities for all 17 varsity programs at Maine's only Division I athletic program, and improving the overall UMaine student experience. In October, the Harold Alfond Foundation announced an historic $500 million investment in Maine and its people.

The field is named for Phillip and Susan Morse, who donated the lights, original Astroturf and scoreboard. In the summer of 2008, new FieldTurf was installed to replace the old AstroTurf. In 2014, a 20-by-32-foot (6.1 m × 9.8 m) HD video-board replaced the matrix display installed in 1998, and a contemporary scoreboard was installed on the north end. Mahaney Dome Black Bear student-athletes who play football, soccer, baseball, softball or field hockey now have an indoor practice facility complete with a state-of-the-art artificial surface.

A caveat to consider as well...
Some of these institutions are THE SCHOOL for their respective states...
University of Delaware, University of Rhode Island, University of Maine, and University of New Hampshire are the flagship state institutions...
For those states...that's their UNC-Chapel Hill so to speak...

We gone need some photos. In your right hand (if you are right-handed) there is probably a device called a mouse. You will need to use that device to click (a technical term), be sure to left click, on the text that says "University of Maine Athletic Facilities-Link", you may discover the treasure you seek. Looking at current pictures buries the lede. Let me try again; "The University of Maine has unveiled its transformative $110 million athletic facilities master plan."

Yeah, I pointed out the state flagship thing when they came with that $25 milly budget estimate. Another reason bringing up anything but the top end of the conference budgets was going to be a bad idea if we planned to be competitive imo.
Now that it appears we plan to be "elite" at least in football, I'm looking forward to when somebody from another school jealously points out the massive upgrades we made.

Ice Hockey - Whittemore Center (7,500)In the summer of 2010, UNH’s Campus Recreation department spent in excess of $1.5 million dollars in renovations to the Whittemore Center. On the ice, the corners were adjusted from a 28’ radius to a 20’ radius. The goal lines moved from 15’ off the end boards to 11’ to play similar to NHL rinks. The Arena installed all new lighting over the seating areas, concourse, and picture areas. All new energy efficient fluorescent lighting was used. The arena was upgraded with a brand new dasher system, that has seamless glass on the sides. The ice refrigeration system received upgrades as well with increased capacities to the cooling tower, control systems, and a third compressor.

Although built approximately 12 years ago, the UNH coaching staff has worked to ensure that the 8,500 square foot gymnasium has been well maintained and updated to preserve its newness, meeting the highest standards. The loose foam pit, into which all events can be finished was renovated to add a trampoline bed at the bottom and more foam blocks, allowing the pit to stay fuller, looser and safer. Foam of the resi pit was also replaced. The addition of a second portable tumble track provides more opportunity for various vaulting and tumbling drills to be performed. The gym is equipped with two spotting belt apparati; one over the tumble track and one over the uneven bars. The training area has played a crucial role for UNH to recruit and train the highest level athletes. Field HouseThe Field House is the hub of UNH Athletics. It is the home to the Athletics Department's administrative offices as well as the gymnasium, newly renovated Paul Sweet indoor track, indoor pool and gymnastics training room.

Renovations to Jake Nevin Field House began in the winter of 2012 and included a new hardwood floor with primary volleyball lines, a new sound system and two new scoreboards. Renovations also included six new baskets for recreational use. Soccer: Higgins Soccer Complex (capacity?)The Higgins Soccer Complex opened in August 2014. This $3 million project was made possible through the leadership and generosity of several individuals, with the single largest gift being contributed by Patrick T. Higgins ’79 and his wife, Julianne Bigelli-Higgins ’80. The renovated complex replaced the natural grass with two FIFA approved artificial turf playing surfaces. The game field, Campolo Field, was made possible by the generosity of Joseph P. Campolo ’90. The adjacent practice field, Zimmermann Field, was named in memory of William F. Zimmermann ’15 by the Higgins’ family. The new complex also includes a soccer scoreboard donated by Peter M. Harding ’91, team shelters, a media perch and ball blocking system.

Field Hockey: Conshohocken Proving Grounds (450)Located off Conshohocken Road in Conshohocken, Pa, the stadium is just a 10 minute drive from the Villanova campus. A key feature is the synthetic playing surface, known as "wet turf," in which water cannons are used to wet the field prior to and at halftime of every game. Baseball: Villanova Ballpark at Plymouth (capacity?)The Villanova Ballpark at Plymouth opened for the start of the 2003 season. Located off Germantown Pike in Plymouth Township, the stadium is just a 10 minute drive from the Villanova campus. The facility, enclosed by a 10-foot fence, features batting cages and a bullpen with two pitching mounds that are located down the first and third base lines. Behind the plate is a 10-foot high wall over which sits a press box and permanent stands. The field dimensions are 320 down each of the lines, 375 to the power alleys and 400 to straightaway center field. The field contains a bluegrass infield and an outfield made from a Pennsylvania rye blend. In the fall of 2014 the infield was re-done with new sod to improve the playing surface. The outfield received an aesthetic face-lift before the 2015 season with new windscreens.
