PORTLAND HEARTS OF PINE

Portland Hearts of Pine is Maine’s first team in the United States Soccer League (USL).

The team will play their first game at  Fitzpatrick Stadium on Sunday against One Knoxville SC. The season runs through Oct. 25 and includes 17 home games.

A fun and easy way to keep up with the team is on Instagram, where the team has more than 35,000 followers.

The account features hundreds of vivid photographs, including player portraits and action shots. You’ll also find information about tickets, starting lineups, partnerships and more. The excitement is palpable.

A dozen teams comprise the USL League One. Portland is one of six expansion franchises.

The home opener is sold out. Tickets for the rest of the season go on sale on May 12.

PORTLAND SEA DOGS

The Portland Sea Dogs‘ 31st season started a few weeks ago, and there’s a whole summer of games to look forward to at Hadlock Field.

The team is the Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. It’s not unusual to see a Sox star in the lineup when recovering from an injury. But every afternoon or night at a Dogs game is time well spent.

With more than 57,000 followers on Instagram (along with 87,000 on Facebook and 11,700 on TikTok), the team’s online presence is huge.

Packed with player photos, mascot Slugger living their best life and details about special promotions, a visit to the Portland Sea Dogs Instagram page is a perfect precursor to getting yourself to a game.
