The Best That Maine Sports Has To Offer
While there are no professional sports teams in the state of Maine, there are some minor league sports teams that fans can support. The Portland Pirates, an American Hockey League affiliate for the Buffalo Sabres, play there home games at the Cumberland County Civic Center. For basketball, the Portland Red Claws, a minor league affiliate of the Boston Celtics and Charlotte Bobcats in the NBA Developmental League, play at the Portland Exposition Building. And finally, in the summer baseball takes over downtown Portland with the Portland Sea Dogs, a AA baseball affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, playing home games at Hadlock field.
In addition to minor league sports, as well as a variety of different college and high school sports throughout the state, there are a variety of personal sporting opportunities that await Maine visitors. This includes some of the best skiing that you’ll find on the East Coast during the winter months; spectacular hiking during the warm spring and summer months, as well as swimming and boating in one of Maine’s many lakes and waterways.
