Bean suppers or suppahs for Mainers is a centuries-old New England tradition. Typically served on Saturday nights, bean suppahs have been a source for feeding and gathering communities at churches and grange halls throughout the state. A Maine bean suppah commonly includes baked beans served with franks…red snappers for Mainers, and brown bread.

“Much like attending a Sea Dogs game, bean suppahs have been an excellent way to bring the community together,” stated Sea Dogs President & General Manager Geoff Iacuessa. “We are excited to combine these two great traditions for a fun night at the ballpark where fans can enjoy a bean suppah and our National Pastime.”

As part of the night, the team will wear specially designed Maine Bean Suppahs jerseys and hats. The game will feature bean themed promotions. Of course, there will be plenty of beans for fans to enjoy at the game.

Tickets for the Maine Bean Suppahs game on August 13th and all Sea Dogs home games are available for purchase online at seadogs.com or by calling the Sea Dogs ticket office at 207-879-9500.

Bean suppahs will be served in the Gifford’s Pavilion in right-field on August 13th.

Additionally, bean suppahs will be available for purchase on August 13th at a designated concession window in the concourse for fans seated in the main seating bowl.
