The good news is you don't have to suffer anymore, you can just find something else to do with your free time. To answer a previous question of who do we play next week? Maine I hope at Fitton Field. If the choice of where to locate the game is close, the fact that Worcester is below the Arctic Circle should favor us and Maine's alumni in the Boston area can easily attend. I did a quick check. Our last home game drew about 5000, Maine drew about 4000. Maine's prior game drew 8K, but it was Homecoming. Our Homecoming game drew 10K. I point this out because I think in opening round of FCS play-offs, projected attendance plays a role in deciding venue. No huge numbers either way, but from a 2 game sample, HC pulled in about 25 percent more than Maine

Holy Cross's highest concentration of alums would be in Boston area, 250 miles from UMaine. I'd project higher attendance at Fitton Field than in Orono.

A game of this significance should be at Gillette, a neutral site (and closest to the Cape where I live).

A game of this significance should be at Gillette, a neutral site (and closest to the Cape where I live). Would it come close to the attendance of HC-BC at Shaeffer/Sullivan/Foxboro stadium? Would it at least surpass attendance of some UMass FBS games at Gillette?

I will mention it to her if I see her at the Georgetown or Merrimack games on Saturday.

Brisk and sunny with no tree branches moving in the wind. Great Football weather. Should keep the field grass intact for the FCS playoffs.
