I do recommend just because there isn't anything else to do in Maine. Mostly 3 point shots so not a very fun interesting game to watch. I attended as a team bonding activity with my volleyball team. read more

Great family atmosphere! Brought my grandson and had a blast. Fast paced with lots going on to even keep a 7 year old entertained! Even the concessions weren't as expensive as I thought they would be. We will definitely be back1 read more

Maine Celtics - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Portland, Maine

The Maine Red Claws are the Boston Celtics' NBA G League affiliate. They are also owned by the Celtics. This minor league farm team is based in Portland, Maine, the most populous city in the state. The Red Claws play in the Portland Exposition Building, a.k.a. "The Expo," located just west of downtown. The Expo can hold about 3,000 fans. Out of the G League's currently 30 teams (there will be 31 in 2022), the Red Claws are one of the teams I've heard/read about the most because a few players from my favorite college team and alma mater, Georgia Tech, have gone on to play for Maine. They include Mario West, Lewis Clinch, and Marcus Georges-Hunt. West played for the Red Claws for two seasons (2009-11), Clinch during one season (2010-11), and Georges-Hunt for one season (2018-19). West ended up playing in four seasons in the NBA (2007-11; three with the Atlanta Hawks and one with the New Jersey Nets) and Georges-Hunt in two (2016-18; one with the Orlando Magic and the other with the Minnesota Timberwolves). Just like in school, Georges-Hunt missed playing with fellow former Yellow Jacket Josh Okogie in Minnesota by only one year, but I digress. Since beginning league play in the 2009-10 season, Maine has won three G League Atlantic Division championships. Those titles came in back-to-back-to-back years: 2015, 2016, and 2017. However, the Red Claws have never made it past the Eastern Conference Semifinals and have only appeared in the semifinals once. In 2017, they got swept by the Raptors 905, 2-0. During the successful stretch in the mid 2010s, Maine was coached by Scott Morrison (2014-17). Morrison was named NBA G League Coach of the Year in 2015. He's now an assistant for Brad Stevens and the Celtics. In the past, the Maine Red Claws have also been affiliated with the Charlotte Bobcats (now Hornets) and Philadelphia 76ers. This was before the G League expanded to what it is today. read more

I was at the Blue Coats/Celts game today. left in the third quarter. I unkindly bought obstructed view seats. (Section 16 row 3 seat 4, 5, and 6). while the seats are close to the floor and within 20' of the baseline, those seats are directly in line with the station at the end of the court near the exit. you can't see the other hoop, the score of the game, shot click, game clock, anything happening in the lane at the other end of the court, and you miss a decent amount of what is happening under the hoop at this end of the floor as well. I'm baffled as to why those seats exist. such a waste of money. My grandsons were with me, and I'll say it was a disappointing experience, and it was a waste of time and money. The place was pretty full, so we could just move seats. I took the kids over near the trash bin on the left side of the court in the third quarter to try to watch from there. After about five minutes, a very polite young lady told us we couldn't stand there and would have to return to our seats. That was when we left the Expo. I've been to ballparks. stadiums, and courts in a few states. That was the worst experience to date. read more

I absolutely love the Maine Celtics I have sat all around here the prices are usually fairly priced but sometimes they can't get ridiculous for example ticket prices for game 3 of the playoffs were insane but I also think that was Ticketmaster the food is fairly priced cheaper than the seadogs and the entertainment is amazing as well if you sit courtside you get a halftime report and a fast pass at concessions read more

Amazing experience. We got tickets in the second row of the bleachers. For bleacher seats, the seats are extremely comfortable (more comfortable than most parks/arenas I've been in). Not a bad seat in the building. The food was good and all the staff was friendly. During the game, some of the courtside seats were empty so I asked the security guard if we could move up (my wife's and I's honeymoon and her birthday). He referred me to a women in a grey sweater (sorry I didn't catch your name) and she was the best. Not only did she move us up, she also announced over the intercom that it was our honeymoon and her birthday. The Maine Celtics played a great game and won in an impressive comeback win. And the cherry on top was that Brad Stevens was there and stopped to take a picture. Everyone there was extremely friendly--a 5 star experience all around. We will definitely be going back and will be bringing our son. The Maine Mariners could learn a few things here. read more

If you want to experience some great fun for a decent price the Maine Red Claws, the development team for the Boston Celtics, area a great choice. These plays before and after the game take time to mingle with the crowd especially the children. They play at the Cumberland County Expo and parking can be limited if you get their at the last minute. Right next door is the Portland Sea Dogs at Hadlock Field. As a said before ticket prices are very reasonable and you are getting entertained by basketball athletes that have the potential of getting called put to play for the Boston Celtics at anytime. Definitely a must see for any out of towner and obviously for those who enjoy basketball. They do server beer for all 21 and older and in between most timeouts there is contests for select fans to join in on. read more
