Meanwhile, Across The State . . .

While Dartmouth is wisely saving the historic facade of Memorial Field in its reconstruction of the home stands, across the state the University of New Hampshire is taking a different approach, in part because, well, there isn't much to save on the new "home" side. Here's a "Stadium Spectator Visualization" of the much-needed facility that is planned in Durham, followed by an artist's rendering of the new home stands.




There are more UNH stadium pictures here and information on the project at unhstadium.com.
Dartmouth Now has posted a Q&A with Sarah Swanson, the ticket manager for athletics HERE.
With 20,500 applications received for the Class of 2019, there's a 6.6 percent uptick in applicants to the college this year, although that's still well below the record 23,110 who bid for spots in the Class of 2016.
Speaking of admissions, a Huffington Post story under the headline, How Did Applying For College Become Such A Nightmare? (LINK) prominently features a posed photograph of the 1901 Dartmouth football team.
