I could point to three possible venues.

1.) SNHU Arena, downtown Manchester (I thought it was still called the Verizon Wireless Arena too, thanks Google): for the reasons stated above. It's a solid hockey arena that could arguably hold the most visitors. Website doesn't have any events posted during that time, and it will be long past the arena's main summer use: graduations.

2.) SNHU Fieldhouse (Also known as the Kickoff Venue): Smaller, but has good flow between auxiliary gym and main gym. Could definitely handle the team count, arguably lacking on comfortable seating as it's mostly bleachers. Has a solid VIP space and parking. Could be already booked for sports and summer classes.

3.) Memorial High School: If you want to go #OGFRC, there's only one venue. Has basically the same pros and cons as the SNHU Fieldhouse, but it also lacking a solid VIP area and parking for the crowd size. But, RiverRage has run just fine there for many years.

My gut says SNHU arena, but my heart wants Memorial.
