Usage

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

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]

gollark: That too. It's all lit with glowstone nanoparticles.
gollark: Meanwhile, my bunker- has a forcefield entirely protecting it- has no hidden cable ducts or places to hide- ... probably can be teleported into, I haven't made any defense against that- does not really have one ultra-vulnerable point- can craft many components of itself
gollark: - There are invulnerable forcefields on some bits, but you can just dig around them- There are endless hidden cable ducts and Contingency Theta tunnels in it, so people can sneak through- You can teleport in basically everywhere- If someone gets into the control room with its unlabelled button panel, they can deploy lava, disable the generators, enable forcefields and whatnot, and there's no password or anything- There's no equipment in it which lets it replace damaged bits
gollark: Er, still is.
gollark: Anyway, the long and short of it is that your bunker was really ineffective as a bunker.
