The the local politician was very instrumental in the entire process of the stadium. He was there was another gentleman who was the one who reinforced this guys pull in getting funding for the facility. They sat directly in front me on the away side which I thought was weird. To this day I've always wondered the guys name. Any idea?

Some season ticketholders, and other long time fans, prefer the "old" side for both nostalgia reasons and the fact that you get much more sun over there in the afternoon. I have no idea who those politicians were, but the stadium was funded totally with UNH funds and anticipated revenue. The funds for the 2 million $ Video Board were donated solely by a long serving library employee who left his entire estate to the University, no strings attached. I don't believe the state, county or town paid one nickel for the stadium renovation. NH state government is notoriously very tight with a buck, which by and large is a good thing.
