Larry Mahaney Diamond is a baseball stadium in Orono, Maine, located on the campus of the University of Maine.[1] It is the home of the Maine Black Bears baseball team.[2] Its capacity is 4,400 spectators. It opened in the early 1980s.[3][4]
Usage
[edit | edit source]From 1996 to 1997, the field was the home of the Bangor Blue Ox of the independent Northeast League.[5]
In 2003, the venue was the home of the Bangor Lumberjacks, also of the Northeast League.[5] Following the 2003 season, the team moved to the Winkin Sports Complex on the campus of Husson College in Bangor, Maine.[1]
In 1991, Mahaney Diamond hosted the NCAA Northeast Regional. The field has also hosted two ECAC Tournaments, in 1990 and 1991. It has hosted three America East Conference baseball tournaments, in 1993, 2002, and 2004. In 2002, Maine won the tournament on its home field.[6]
Naming
[edit | edit source]The field is named for Larry Mahaney, an area businessman and philanthropist who graduated from the university in 1951. His donations allowed for several renovations to the park. Mahaney died in 2006.[7][3]
