South Portland Middle School students recently got to do a job shadow at Hadlock Field! ⚾ Students toured the facility and learned about the different jobs within the sports industry from the Sea Dogs staff. From creating and pitching their own theme night ideas to competing in an on-field race just like the ones fans love at games, students got a true behind-the-scenes look at the creativity, teamwork, and excitement that goes into this profession!
