| What Can You Bring In The Portland Sea Dogs |
The Essentials: Pack Smart, Play Ball!
Let's start with the no-brainers. Sunscreen? Absolutely. You'll be basking in the Maine sunshine (hopefully) while watching some future MLB stars. Your trusty hat? A must. Nobody wants sunburn on their scalp, and besides, a good hat can be the difference between looking like a rookie or a seasoned Sea Dogs supporter. Keys, wallet, phone? Duh. Though, if you lose your phone amidst the excitement of a walk-off homer, that's a story for another day. (Let's hope it doesn't come to that!)
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
Thinking Outside the Bag (But Not Too Far Outside)
Now, things get interesting. Forget about bringing your pet lobster (cruel and unusual punishment for the crustacean, and probably a health code violation). But fear not, there is room for some fun! Snacks? Sure, but keep it reasonable. Think small bags of chips, pretzels, or maybe even some gourmet popcorn (because fancy). A baseball mitt? Absolutely! Snag a foul ball and become a legend (just be prepared for high-fives from excited strangers). Noisemakers? Encouraged! Just avoid anything that sounds like a war horn or a cranky goose. We want cheers, not chaos.
Fashion Do's and Don'ts: Dress for the Win (Without Getting Ejected)
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
Let your team spirit flow freely! Rock your Sea Dogs jersey, or, if you're feeling fancy, a lobster-themed outfit (just don't upstage Slugger, the mascot). However, knives, firearms, and other pointy objects are a big no-no. Leave those at home, folks. Security screenings are a breeze when you avoid looking like you're starring in an action movie.

Here's the thing: big bags are a pain for security. Small bags, medical bags, and diaper bags are your friends. Think of it as a game of minimalist Tetris. Pack light, pack smart, and you'll be waltzing through security like a champ.
Bonus Tip: Bring Your Appetite! Hadlock Field is known for its delicious ballpark fare. Who can resist a hot dog or a lobster roll after a thrilling game? Just be prepared to loosen your belt a notch (worth it!).

How to bring snacks?
Small bags are your best bet. Think individual bags of chips, or pack some homemade trail mix in a resealable container.
How loud can my noisemaker be? Think thunderous cheers, not air raid sirens. Security has the final say, so err on the side of caution.
Can I bring my phone charger? Absolutely! You don't want to miss capturing that game-winning catch on camera. Just remember to keep an eye on it!
Can I bring an umbrella? The Maine weather can be unpredictable. Small, collapsible umbrellas are usually okay, but check the Sea Dogs website for any specific guidelines.
What if I forget something? Hadlock Field has you covered! From sunscreen to Sea Dogs memorabilia, you can find most essentials at the ballpark (though prices might be higher).
So there you have it, folks! With this guide in hand, you're ready to pack for a fantastic day at the ballpark. Now get out there, cheer on the Sea Dogs, and maybe even snag a foul ball (just watch out for flying lobsters...metaphorically speaking, of course).
