Today's Poll
Portland is home to four professional sports teams — the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs, an affiliate of the Boston Red Sox; the G-League's Maine Celtics, an affiliate of the Boston Celtics; the Maine Mariners, an ECHL affiliate of the Boston Bruins; and the Portland Hearts of Pine, which is in USL League One.
In October 2024, the Sports Business Journal named Portland the best U.S. city for minor league sports.
In the past year, Maine's teams have been getting some upgrades.
The Portland Sea Dogs opened a new, state-of-the-art $10 million training facility and clubhouse at Hadlock Field. The Portland Hearts of Pine launched their inaugural season in 2025, playing to consistently sold-out crowds from the very first game and reaching the semifinals in November. And now the Maine Mariners plan to build a new practice rink at the Downs in Scarborough.
