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.
