Here\u2019s a roundup of what\u2019s making news across the Triangle Tuesday, June 1.<\/p>\n

Brind\u2019Amour\u2019s second shot at the Cup:<\/b> Rod Brind\u2019Amour, who captained the Carolina Hurricanes to their 2006 Stanley Cup victory, has a chance to win it again. Now in his eighth season as head coach, the team faces the Vegas Golden Knights in the Final beginning Tuesday at Lenovo Center.<\/p>\n

Ticket prices soar despite presale access:<\/b> Carolina Hurricanes season ticket holders had a three-hour early access window Saturday to buy Stanley Cup Final tickets, but face-value seats sold out quickly, leaving only resale tickets starting at $900 for Game 1 and $1,100 for Game 2.<\/p>\n

Where to watch the Cup Final around the Triangle:<\/b> With the Hurricanes back in the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in 20 years, multiple Triangle venues are hosting watch parties for Games 1 and 2 on June 2 and June 4, including the Lenovo Center\u2019s South Plaza, Moore Square in downtown Raleigh and Carolina Ale House in Cary.<\/p>\n

Property tax bills nearly double in a decade:<\/b> Triangle homeowners are paying property tax bills ranging from 60% higher to roughly double what they paid 10 years ago. The increase is driven largely by three major reappraisals that pushed home values up faster than the roughly 40% nationwide inflation rate.<\/p>\n

The 74,000-square-foot store on 34 acres will feature 120 gas pumps, 650 parking spots and create at least 200 full-time jobs when it opens by the end of 2027.<\/p>\n

Poe Hall demolition begins this week:<\/b> NC State University received EPA approval to demolish Poe Hall, the former education department building contaminated with PCBs, with fencing expected to go up as early as this week. A federal investigation earlier this year confirmed elevated cancer levels among former occupants but could not definitively link the illnesses to the chemicals.<\/p>\n
