The Portland Sea Dogs will become the Maine Bean Suppahs, presented by Camden National Bank, for the Saturday, August 13th game when the Sea Dogs host the Richmond Flying Squirrels at 6:00 PM at Hadlock Field. Bean suppers or suppahs for Mainers is a centuries-old New England tradition. Typically served on Saturday nights, bean suppahs have been a source for feeding and gathering communities at churches and grange halls throughout the state. A Maine bean suppah commonly includes baked beans served with franks…red snappers for Mainers, and brown bread.

Tickets for the Maine Bean Suppahs game on August 13th and all Sea Dogs home games are available for purchase online at seadogs.com or by calling the Sea Dogs ticket office at 207-879-9500. Adult ticket prices range between $11.00 -$13.00 for advance sales. Child and senior ticket prices range between $8.00 and $11.00.

Bean suppahs will be served in the Gifford’s Pavilion in right-field on August 13th. The all-you-can-eat bean suppah buffet will start an hour before the game and last through the first hour of the game. That’s two hours of all-you-can-eat food and your ticket to the game for $30.00. Tickets can be purchased online at seadogs.com or by calling the Sea Dogs ticket office at 207-879-9500.
