Hadlock Field

Family fun atmosphere with an easy to access location. Parking can sometimes be a little tough but if you don’t mind a quick ten minute walk, there’s plenty of parking available. Overall, it’s one of the well known places in Portland to enjoy a baseball game!

We took in a Portland Sea Dogs game last evening at Hadlock Field. A Red Sox AA affiliate, young stars hoping to make it big. Beautiful ball park, family friendly atmosphere with all kinds of fun for kids between innings. The game was well played with some great hits and stellar defense. Great family entertainment for not a lot of money. Parking is somewhat difficult but manageable. You’re going to have a blast!

Had a great night at a game here! I thought they did great managing the crowd entering the stadium. They had a lot of activities that were entertaining, pretty decent food, and of course the Sea Dogs. Workers were kind and prompt. Loves the fireworks show and I plan to be back!

Took my grandson to his first game. It was a great family friendly experience. I love how you promote family fun for all. He loved the entire experience

Love this place and very odd and random thing that I actually really like is the fact that finally in the atleast womans bathroom im assuming mens also is the sinks and paper towel dispensers actually make sense for once literally the only public bathroom that I've ever been in and people don't risk slipping and falling because the paper towel dispensers are right where the sinks are to wash your hands. also the whole place is all around great and very well kept and clean along with every single employee I've met. Even the younger cashiers I've noticed all around great attitudes not playing with there phones and actually look like they enjoy their jobs

So much fun at this baseball field. The game was great. Getting in and seated was quick. The snacks were good but the pizza was dry and not worth the money. They do fun activities in between each inning so it's fun for the kids. I will definitely be back!

Fantastic game! Only issue I ever have is parking. But I know that's the city not the team. Food is more expensive than necessary.

What fun for a family!! Great atmosphere and not a bad seat- we are making this an annual family experience. We love Coors Field, ( Colorado Rockies) but Hadlock lends itself to an experience unlike others- How about some Lobster Rolls? Oh well plenty available in Portland!!

Beautiful park to watch a ballgame. Been here many times. It gets better the older I get because I appreciate everything about the place. Not a Bad seat in the house, the people who work here are incredibly nice and hospitable. I'm from Worcester where we have Polar Park (I love polar park) and I wish they made Polar Park exactly like Hadlock. It has that classic baseball feel, it's what minor league baseball should be.

I had friends from away and, believe it or not, I still had never been to this stadium. It was serendipity that the Sea Dogs were in town so we could watch them play. I purchased GA tickets off the website. Inexpensive, compared to the MLB tickets I am used to. "GA" means you sit in bleachers but can pretty much choose any available seat. People are friendly, and everyone gets the system, so I didn't see any cases of seat hogging or how dare you make me slide over. The bleachers have back rests... that's really important for a cripple like me. Staff is amazingly friendly. Everyone here has a good time. My friends are from Philly and he was shocked that the pitcher, who gave up the lead in the 9th, didn't get booed when he was replaced by the manager. A guy was wearing a shirt that said "I just hope both teams have fun" and it's kind of a joke, but it seems like a AA team in Portland kind of stays true to the credo. Saw lots of home runs which equaled lots of lighthouse appearances. I really got the feeling I was living out some sort of scene from a movie like Field of Dreams or The Sandlot... some small town vibe where everything's alright and the troubles of the world are beyond the fence.

To my surprise, I have not reviewed Hadlock Field despite the number of times I have traveled to Portland, ME just to watch the Sea Dogs play ball. Well you are in for a treat... Hadlock Field is a past time staple for ever Mainah that loves baseball or the atmosphere the stadium offers. It is home to the Portland Sea dogs who are the AA farm team for the Boston Red Sox. They were not always the farm team for the Sox as several years ago they were the AA farm team to the Florida Marlins. I think they made the right move switching the the Boston Red Sox. It seemed like a perfect match given their proximity to Boston's iconic Fenway Park and New England's Boston Red Sox. The stadium is located adjacent to Fitzpatrick Stadium and the home of the Maine Red Claws basketball team. It's a decent size stadium with not one bad seat in the entire stadium. General admission is reasonably priced and honestly has some of the better seats near the top of the stands if you like the higher view. If you want to sit closer to the field, it's not going to cost you a mortgage payment or even a car payment. All their tickets are reasonably priced and affordable for all levels of income. As they are smaller venue, the food is better quality than a stadium trying to feed 40,000 hungry people. They offer all your typical baseball stadium staples and most will indulge in more than one Sea Dog Biscuit. What is a Sea Dog Biscuit you ask? Well, its two chocolate chip Cookies with ice cream in between them and usually has chocolate chips outlining the outside of the sandwich. It's heaven in your mouth if you ask me as I could take six of them down in a single game. If you haven't had one, go buy another ticket and get back over there and try one. You will not be disappointed. If you have made it this far into my review, you obviously enjoy my writing or you want to know more about Hadlock Field. Well, head to the Sea Dogs website and purchase some tickets before the season ends. You will not be disappointed. Did I say that already? Well, I am not kidding when I say it because the Sea Dog ball club offers a great experience for baseball enthusiasts and families. Are you still here? Go buy your ticket a Sea Dog Biscuit with your name on int is waiting for you to flash some of those dollar bills as the guy walk down the aisle tossing them from one fan to the next. They don't last long, so hurry up and get going!!!

I had been wanting to come here for so long and finally made the trip! General admission seats were only $8 and you can move about the bleachers freely. Game and entertainment was great and there's a lot of street parking and cheap lots nearby

***Temporary Update*** This is a thank you note to the Sea Dogs and Hadlock Stadium. For the first time in my entire life, I didn't attend a baseball game in 2020. And it was one of the things I missed the most. I had heard about Dining On The Diamond - an opportunity to reserve a table on the baseball diamond to enjoy dinner in the ballpark - and wasn't sure if it was something, as a vegetarian, that would be worth it. But my partner and I were doing everything we could to support the local businesses that we loved, so we thought we'd check it out. Even if all we got were beers, it would be a once in a lifetime experience (or so we figured). And, literally, it was one of the highlights of an otherwise terrible year. The Dining On The Diamond kept selling out, but they added one last weekend in August and we were lucky enough to get a reservation at the very last session of the season (meaning we arrived at around 7pm, and left around 8:15pmish). We placed our order online ahead of time - a Lone Pine, an Allagash White, two vegetarian nachos, and a whoopie pie; it cost $5.00 per person to make the reservation, but that was credited towards our food the night of. When we arrived, we had the opportunity to buy gear (I grabbed an old school teal Sea Dogs hat!) before we were seated at a private table on second base. A member of staff came by shortly after to drop off a bag filled with our food. We had someone check-in on us halfway through to see if we needed anything else (we wish we had gotten more beers, TBH). Everyone was masked-up and kept their distance! Oh, and our vegetarian nachos were AWESOME. They came in big take-home red dog bowls topped with vegetarian chili, sour cream, guacamole, and jalapenos. The beers were cold. The whoopie pie was Maine dessert perfection. And - SURPRISE! - throughout the night Slugger visited every table for a photo op, he danced the YMCA with us, and we also did the seventh inning stretch with Take Me Out To The Ballgame. It. Was. Awesome. I just looked, and it seems like Dining On The Diamond is coming back for the 2021 season. I'll probably be there once a month!!!

I love minor league baseball so I was happy to stop by Hadlock Field to see the Portland Sea Dogs in action. The park is cozy but I wish it was more centrally located in town like Fenway Park is in Boston.

Headlock field and the Portland SeaDogs were a magnificent date night out after this long (and still going) pandemic. From the cheap seats all over the stadium ($12 a piece for right behind home plate. What a dream?) to the easy access of tickets on our phone, close by parking (less than 3 blocks and only $10) and the delicious Sea Biscuts ( ice cream sandwiches) this place is *chef kiss* Did I mention it was fireworks night and they lasted 15 minutes? the SeaDogs lost, but we're definitely coming back for more!

Great place to see a game! Bring a seat pad as most seats are metal bench style. Some of the lower bowl and way high up seats are actual seats. Concourse could use some updating. This place was built in 1994....makes me think they hired the same architects that did the original Foxboro Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. haha. Anyways, enjoyed the experience. Parking is always ridiculous around here, but there is a garage just off Forest St. Was $10 this time....cheaper than a parking ticket/tow!

Take me out to the ball gameeeeeee. No really. Please take me out to a Seadog's game because at only $12/ticket for the best seats in the house, they're the perfect mid-week date night and/or chance for Sox fans to get a preview of the next generation of players and/or for families to spend time. Prices are even less for kiddos. The one place you'll get caught up is with the cost of food and drink at the ballpark. While hot dogs are the budget-friendly way to go, they're not the most satisfying or filling option. I prefer to pick up something at the Shipyard grill on the 3rd base side, which seems to have the best options for food, IMO. For drinks, I like the craft brew stand on the 1st base side, which seems to have the most options. Beers are about $6/pop for a small plastic cup. Going bud lite inside the concession stand might give you some more bang for your buck. My overall suggestion to maximize your night is to pick an awesome place to do food and drinks near the ballpark so you don't need as much during the game. Don't miss: seadogs biscuits around the 7th for a snack. Skip the soft serve served in a bucket hat and GO FOR the ice cream sandwiches between two chocolate chip cookies. You won't be sorry!

I love the intimacy of the ballpark, the Maine Monster, the field itself looked flawless. It's in a quiet neighborhood which I think adds to the ambiance. The in seat ordering is not available in GA seating areas according to the website, however I saw lots of in seat deliveries in GA, could just be me being dumb but my niece and I couldn't figure that out. Spent almost two innings waiting in line for food. Could not get anywhere near the team store mid game, line was huge! On the plus side there was zero wait times on the restrooms when I needed them. I recommend getting assigned seats, the GA situation was a disaster some seats have an extremely obstructed view in left field. Understaffed in the section as well, one usher was doing his absolute best to deal with rude people and kept smiling and joking. The pretzels and plastic nacho cheese was delicious, niece loved the crinkle cut French Fries. I knew it was going to be sold out because of a Chris Sale rehab assignment and thought the staff did the best they could with an overflow crowd. I know it's New England and we are noted for our sarcasm and sharp tongues but folks attending the game could be more kind to the workers, I don't know how many sellouts a year there are but hopefully management has learned they need more staff or better systems in place to handle crowd size. It was my first baseball game in over a year and a family tradition I have with my nieces, first visit to Hadlock and I can say we will be back with reserved seating in hand. Great ballpark and staff, thanks Portland, thanks Portland Seadogs, thanks Hadlock Field. Looking forward to Mariners hockey this winter!

This stadium was charming as all get out. Could have used some shade, but other than that, we had the best afternoon there. The mobile app ordering was awesome and the fries were delicious. Fun day and a great game!!

From the Sea Dog Biscuit, to Slugger dancing the YMCA, there's food, fun, and baseball for everyone! Bring the family, bring the friends, and watch a game.

Very nice field, like a mini Fenway with the green monster in left. Tickets are reasonable, general admission seats are $9 advanced/$10 game day, and those seats are bench style but they do have backs to them. Just bring a cushion to make it more comfortable. reserved seats are a little tight but there isn't a bad seat in the house. They have a on field contest for the kids between every inning and the mascot "Seadog" entertains as well. Typical high prices for food and drink, $6.50 for a 12 oz. Bud and $3,25 for a bottle of water. But all and all a great value of entertainment for the money. One more thing, parking can be brutal if there is something going on at same time over at the hockey, basketball or track stadiums that are next to each other. We paid $5 at the ISIR lot. Money goes to help the visual impaired.

Hadlock Field wins the "best value" award for summer entertainment in Portland. Anymore, it seems like any random concert ticket or beer festival will run you at least $50 pp, but the Portland Sea Dogs....$13 for an entire afternoon/evening of entertainment. I've always walked by Hadlock Field and wondered what it looked like inside. After finally going to a game, I can tell you that it is AMAZING! It's like a miniature MLB stadium, where every seat has an impressive view. In true Portland fashion, the beer selection is great. They have a special beer hut that is dedicated to local breweries - they even have Lonepine on tap! The beer prices, however, will not be winning any "best value" awards. The only place where I see Hadlock Field could improve is in their food selection. Portland is a food city, and that is not represented at Hadlock Field. Honestly, the food looked like what you would get at a high school football game concession stand (cardboard pizza, stale nachos). I feel like in this day and age, people are looking for more from their food. All in all, Hadlock Field is an important institution in Portland and everyone should experience what it has to offer. Go Sea Dogs!!

Headlock Field is one of my favorite places in Portland. I love baseball so why wouldn't I love it?!? The Sea Dogs are so much fun! I go to at least one game per month with my daughter. We both really enjoy it. Food choices are what you'll expect from a ball park and is priced accordingly. Beer prices are reasonable as well. Game prices are wicked reasonable and Hoods Kid's Club gets free tickets for kids club games for kids up to age 16. If you are looking for a fun evening or afternoon with the family, this is the place to go.

What an adorable ball park! I had a such a great time watching a Portland Seadog's game on Sunday. In between innings there are cute games - usually played by children - like race the mascot around the bases or musical inflatable chairs. When the Seadog's hit a home run - a light house rises over the outfield wall and fireworks go off! It's a AA ballpark so there's a good chance you're watching players who you'll later see on the Red Sox. The seats are great and spacious. The food prices are reasonable - $3.25 for a hot dog. If you're used to games at Fenway Park - Hadlock Field will make you pinch yourself. (But in a good way!)

Bravo to the Portland Seadogs for a great Bark in the Park experience. I enjoyed being able to have our own section where dogs & their owners could interact. In addition to partnering with many local business to provide care for shelters dogs was an added bonus.

Hadlock Field is a quintessential minor league ballpark. It has charm, and has been modeled around Fenway, with a Green Monster left field wall, and its own Citgo sign. Sightlines and seating is excellent, and pricing for game tickets and food and beverages is modest. Always lots of kids enjoying themselves. Parking can me a bit of a challenge....some of the businesses on St. John's street charge for parking in their lots......that's probably the best option. Overall a very nice value for a day of baseball. Solid 4 stars

Nice little stadium. It's an AA team of Boston so you may get lucky and see a player doing a rehab assignment or two. Not a huge stadium so it adds to the nice involved in the game feel. My only really down fall is the lack of parking. Sure you can pay $10 in a school parking or business but just walk two blocks and park on the near by streets. It would though be nice to actually go thru the team store instead of everything behind a counter. The staff is more then willing to help you just feel that more would be sold if you are able to see the merchandise closer. Other then that a fun few hours with a fun mascot and friendly staff.

Hadlock Field has a place in my heart because I remember growing up in this area and attending games with my family and friends. The stadium is clean and the staff is always very friendly. The food has always been good, classic stadium food. They have some good beers on tap and Angry Orchard cider. Every thing is kind of expensive, but it's expected. I love that you can see future Red Sox players. Also, the tickets are very affordable and there isn't really a bad seat in the house. Summertime is the season and the atmosphere creates a good time for all.

A fun time is always had at Hadlock Field! It's a great ballpark for a fun family night. Ticket prices are cheap, beer not so much but hey, that's expected. Food is typical but not terrible. I've tried the pizza and it's pretty good. Everyone seems to love the sea biscuits but I do not. They are too big, too hard & just not all that flavorful. But, again, it's expected at a ballpark. So, go enjoy a fun nite out with or without the kids and you will have a great time!

Favorite team and favorite stadium to watch baseball in. The atmosphere is great and you can tell the team is invested in the city and the city is invested in the team. We have been to three games during the past two summers and if I could go to every game they play on our vacations I would. The first game we went to was a Friday night and Lauren and I actually got onto the field between innings to try and catch rubber lobsters in a lobster pod that were being hurled at us by staff using lacrosse sticks. If we had caught five we would have won a gift card to a local store but sadly we only caught three in the time allotted. There is a great selection of local craft beers available and the food is good. The team store is in the stadium and stocked with items that feature one the best mascots there is in all of America, Slugger the Sea Dog. We're headed back to Portland this July and I know one place we'll be no matter what. Hadlock truly is a 9 inning vacation!

It's a clean stadium where you can get good, quality, AFFORDABLE food and affordable entertainment for good, clean wholesome fun with family, friends or just attend by yourself.

One of the places we always go to every year when I come out to Maine in July. What can I say....Red Sox affiliated team, tickets are cheap (no bad seat in the place), and beers like Sea Dog and Shipyard are only $5.50!!!

Awesome, family friendly ballpark. Expect to pay about $5 or $10 to park. Tickets are relatively inexpensive, the concessions are a little pricey. The Seadogs are affiliated with the Boston Red Sox. Highly recommended for baseball fans and families alike. Baseball the way it should be!

Super cheap beers! Great selection.. Beer, wine, ciders, teas..

As a fan of watching minor league ballgames in person, I decided to check out a Portland Sea Dogs game at Hadlock Field. Prices and amenities were reasonable, and I was able to quickly buy a ticket to the game. You have your typical concessions, plus the Shipyard Grill. Seating is comfortable, even in the general admission sections. There's a few bells and whistles, which is standard at any ballpark. This is an enjoyable place to watch a ballgame.

Hadlock is a great field. Very affordable, and lots of entertainment between innings for younger kids. The food isn't quite at major league pricing, but I wouldn't really call it cheap. Parking can be a pest, especially if you arrive early for the second game of a double header. Still, lots of fun!
