The Portland Sea Dogs will become the Maine Clambakes for the Saturday, May 11 game when the Sea Dogs host the Binghamton Rumble Ponies at 1:00 PM at Hadlock Field.

Clambakes are an old-fashioned New England tradition inherited from the Native Americans. The traditional Maine Clambake includes lobster, clams, corn on the cob, potatoes, and blueberry cake. The food is traditionally cooked by steaming the ingredients over layers of seaweed in a pit oven.

“Maine Clambakes have been a part of celebrations and gatherings for centuries in New England,” stated Sea Dogs President and General Manager Geoff Iacuessa. “We are excited to celebrate this tradition with Sea Dogs baseball to showcase the culinary cuisine that helps define our region.”

The team will wear specially designed Maine Clambake jerseys and hats as part of the night. The game will feature various clam-themed promotions.

Maine Clambakes merchandise including hats, t-shirts, and sweatshirts are now available at the United Healthcare Hadlock Field Souvenir Store and online at seadogs.com.
