The discussion—then as now—has revolved around the town’s athletic facilities. For flying a kite or throwing a Frisbee, they aren’t too bad. But for suiting up in a uniform with the green and white of Old Town and showing conference rivals what we’re all made of—well, that’s something else altogether.
Old Town’s athletic facilities are woefully worn out and outdated. Old Town rents Orono’s facilities to host track meets. The old crushed stone track—more now like a tote road—was the host facility for a scholastic track meet no more recently than 1985. The football field has no bleachers. Field hockey plays on an already threadbare baseball diamond. Soccer teams play on what should be practice fields across town.
The new plan calls for a new track, new seating for football, and dedicated fields for field hockey and soccer. Renovations for baseball, softball, and the tennis courts are also part of the plan.
