Hadlock Field, home of the Portland Sea Dogs, went through a couple upgrades during the off season. The seats in the 100-level sections have all been replaced and cup holders have been added. The team also added stadium-wide wireless internet. According to Iacuessa, to his knowledge, the Sea Dogs are the first team in the Eastern League to have this upgrade. They have enough bandwidth for all 7,000 fans to have wireless internet access at Hadlock Field.<\/p>\n
Another exciting event for the team this season comes in mid-July. Portland will be hosting the 2015 All-Star Classic on July 15th.

Iacuessa expects the tickets to sell out within six weeks, but hopes to release any additional tickets ahead of the game in July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
