That game should not have been played. Hard to even call it a lacrosse game in those conditions. That forecast was known for several days. Should have called an audible and moved to Sunday. Or what they really should have done was pay off that cranky lady a few years ago who prevented Dartmouth from building a full 120 yard indoor facility.

THIS. (It was the Town of Hanover but THIS.)

You are right that the lawsuit involved the College v. the Town, but it was really the abutters who drove the opposition. One woman in particular, a member of the Town Planning Board, fought this tooth and nail. Although she recused herself from the final Planning Board vote, she remained very vocal throughout the process and filed a brief in the NH Supreme Court case. Ironically, she moved out of the neighborhood after the case. And to add even more irony, the value of her home has increased from $836,700 immediately prior to the controversy to $1,651,500 according to Zillow. Apparently the neighborhood doesn’t mind living next to a beautiful athletic complex.
