I googled it, duh.  The only thing I can find is taht it is part of the UMBC campus.  Nothing about seating, capacity, or location on campus.

Mapquest or Yahoo's directions.
 
 Neither are perfect sources but they've helped me get around DC, which is no easy chore when you don't know the town. (They've gotten me lost too.)

my suggestion is save your money and go see The Dirtbombs and The Sights at the Ottobar on 11/6... you then have enough money to see The Cynics, The Von Bondies, The Woggles, etc when they come in town.
 
 the following is scarastic... i wonder how that drum sound they spent some many hours to find in the studio will sound in the umbc fieldhouse... i'm guessing it will have a bit more reverb in it.

A fieldhouse?! I thought this was supposed to be a warm-up club tour. What a strange (and poor) choice of venue.

LOL...they're still using this shitty venue?  Guess I'm officially starting to feel old.  Last show I saw there was the Ramones with Frank Black opening in 1994.  It's at the University of Maryland...a bit smaller than Bender Arena. I think they did some work on it or something, but it was pretty gawd awful when I saw that show. Plus I had trouble finding it.  Anyway, that's one show I think I'll safely pass on.  I'd rather save my dimes to go to NYC to see Echo & the Bunnymen...got my tickets yesterday.   :)

Where would you guys suggest they play? Of course they're going to go with a larger venue where they can make the most money. Five years from now, they'll be reduced to playing places like JAXX, and their fans will have moved on to some other flavor. Better make the $$ now.

Bunnyman, I think you're talking about the great Ritchie Coliseum in College Park, which was my favorite local venue until 9:30 came along. Never saw a bad show there.
