The Mahaney Dome, the air-supported indoor practice facility at the University of Maine, is temporarily out of commission and lying flat on the ground after a large hole developed in the fabric covering Saturday. Heavy rains and substantial snowfall from the weekend is being blamed for the tear in the double-layered covering that spans the 38,000-square-foot facility. "The snow load and the rain coming down made it so heavy that it couldn’t handle the load," Will Biberstein, UMaine’s associate athletic director for internal affairs, told the Bangor (Maine) Daily News.
