    It has to be difficult to be the Portland Expo building. You're over a hundred years old, and maybe…read morearen't as cool as some of the other venues around town, or are rockin' the best amenities in the world, or get the chance to host the hippest events, or are even located in a trendy neighborhood, but you're there. Ever present. Doing the dirty work that makes our great city keep on keepin' on. So, hats off to you, Portland Expo. Thanks for being a really excellent polling place. And for being a great spot for our high schools to play and graduate. We appreciate the Red Claws and the Maine Roller Derby. Sometimes you get boxing or beer festivals, comic or mom and baby expos, home shows or car shows; that's pretty badass how you cater to just about every demographic. And Snoop Dogg? Remember that? Whoa. The point is, in the words of Billy Joel: don't go changing to try and please me; you never let me down before." Everything's changing these days, technology is making things speed up at an insane rate, and everyone's trying to top everyone else. But you do you. It's worked for over a century, and - while your parking can be annoying and your bathrooms not always the cleanest - we're always going to need a place like yours to do the normal things, the every day things, the nitty gritty things.

    Clean, organized. Food is not badly priced. Most items are $5 or less. French fries, nachos,…read morepopcorn $3. Beer is $5 for domestic Budlight. $6 for Microbrews. Plenty of toilets. They also utilize the restrooms from the SeaDogs stadium when needed.

    This has been a venue I can remember going to even as a kid. From countless hockey games cheering…read moreon the local team at the time Portland Pirates. From coming here for my first concert ever to see Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin. Since then i have come here for more concerts than I can even count or remember. In some manners you can see the age of this place but it still is a solid option to attend a hockey game (Maine Mariners instead of Pirates now) or a concert/event. Due to its smaller size you can't really have a bad seat. Even what would be classified as "nose bleeds" here don't compare to major areas/stadiums. One issue I do wish were better here and just in general better for events would be the prices for food/drink. Like most places that host events they are too high. Parking is easy enough with options of street parking and parking garages nearby. Recently my wife and I attended the first televised professional wrestling event since 1997. All Elite Wrestling (AEW) put on an amazing show and strictly speaking in terms of their show it would be a five star but overall the venue could use some updating. Despite that if they are hosting an event/concert you want to see it I would reccomend going.

    We went to the Maine Mariners hockey game. This is really fun!! There were tons of families with…read moreyoung children. Lots of great music and energy. After the first period, a group of Casco Bay youth hockey players came onto the ice to play a 'game'. We were gifted the tickets so I am not sure how much it would've cost. We found nearby free on street parking.

    The Maine Red Claws are the Boston Celtics' NBA G League affiliate. They are also owned by the…read moreCeltics. This minor league farm team is based in Portland, Maine, the most populous city in the state. The Red Claws play in the Portland Exposition Building, a.k.a. "The Expo," located just west of downtown. The Expo can hold about 3,000 fans. Out of the G League's currently 30 teams (there will be 31 in 2022), the Red Claws are one of the teams I've heard/read about the most because a few players from my favorite college team and alma mater, Georgia Tech, have gone on to play for Maine. They include Mario West, Lewis Clinch, and Marcus Georges-Hunt. West played for the Red Claws for two seasons (2009-11), Clinch during one season (2010-11), and Georges-Hunt for one season (2018-19). West ended up playing in four seasons in the NBA (2007-11; three with the Atlanta Hawks and one with the New Jersey Nets) and Georges-Hunt in two (2016-18; one with the Orlando Magic and the other with the Minnesota Timberwolves). Just like in school, Georges-Hunt missed playing with fellow former Yellow Jacket Josh Okogie in Minnesota by only one year, but I digress. Since beginning league play in the 2009-10 season, Maine has won three G League Atlantic Division championships. Those titles came in back-to-back-to-back years: 2015, 2016, and 2017. However, the Red Claws have never made it past the Eastern Conference Semifinals and have only appeared in the semifinals once. In 2017, they got swept by the Raptors 905, 2-0. During the successful stretch in the mid 2010s, Maine was coached by Scott Morrison (2014-17). Morrison was named NBA G League Coach of the Year in 2015. He's now an assistant for Brad Stevens and the Celtics. In the past, the Maine Red Claws have also been affiliated with the Charlotte Bobcats (now Hornets) and Philadelphia 76ers. This was before the G League expanded to what it is today.

    There are cinemas closer to where I live, but I had to come here to see an IMAX presentation of…read moreOppenheimer. I had been to this theatre once before, but not the IMAX screen. Would gladly come back to see an IMAX film, but maybe not a special journey for regular films. I have no real complaints. The seats are wonderful and recline. There's a lot of walking room in front of the seats so no awkward 'ass or crotch' etiquette. You don't feel too close to your seat neighbor. Sound is average. Picture quality is good, though there was a smudge on the screen that I kept noticing. The entrance felt a bit disheveled. There wasn't even anyone there to scan my ticket (I bought one online, I promise). You're a sucker and deserve stale popcorn and overpriced snacks if you still buy concessions at a theatre.

    We hadn't been to the movies in a while, but we're excited for the film adaptation of Stephen…read moreKing's short story, The Life of Chuck. I appreciate the simple Atom app for ticketing, plus the veterans discount. The staff was friendly, but I also noticed that it's mostly self-serve for drinks and popcorn. When we got into the theater, the map I used to choose our seats was incorrect. Luckily there were few other patrons and we could move to other seats. The projector wasn't working for the pre-show stuff, which made me nervous enough to go ask the staff about it as the show was about to start. The projector started for the previews and the movie. I wish we hadn't gotten horror movie previews, though, just because it was a Stephen King movie. A couple of the seats were in terrible shape, with covering torn off them and it sounds like at least one of the speakers in the back right is blown, because it was really static-y and crackly. Not our best theater experience, but not our worst either.
