See a Maine Red Claws game
For local basketball awesomeness, head to the Portland Expo for a Maine Red Claws game. These are real-deal minor league players who are affiliated with the Boston Celtics. The season starts in November and winds down in March with lots of heart-stopping three-pointers, free throws, rebounds and full-court presses to keep you cheering your head off all season long.
