Park Name: Edson J. Hadlock Jr. Field Tenants: Portland Sea Dogs (Eastern League) Opened: 1994 Address: 271 Park Ave, Portland, Maine 04102 Dimensions: 315' (L), 400' (C), 330' (R) The view from behind home plate at Hadlock Field. The luxury boxes are all named for former Boston Red Sox legends, and jerseys on the stadium facade celebrate former Sea Dogs currently playing for the Red Sox. The seating bowl features three separate color coded seating areas, with aluminum bleachers making up the upper blue general admission area. The Portland Pavilion, home of minor league basketball in Portland, juts into the right field corner of the park and is an inviting target for foul balls. A small party section in front of the building features a section of stadium seating, and a small grassy hill sits in foul territory. The Pavilion seating area, atop the right field fence, features drink rail seating and is meant to mimic the Green Monster seating at Fenway Park. Banners outside the park celebrate former Sea Dogs, and upper deck luxury suites open to a catwalk outside the stadium. A banner along the concourse honors all former Sea Dogs players who have made it to the major leagues. The park features a very short backstop, and the grandstand tapers off as it moves toward the Pavilion building. The home bullpen sits atop the right field fence. The wall's height drops after the bullpen, leading to a shorter fence in center field. The Maine Monster, Portland's version of Fenway Park's Green Monster, towers over left field. Hadlock Field's version is taller than the one in Boston and features a digital linescore board. |
