High Roller Tables at the Hearts of Pine Game: A Seat We Didn’t See Coming

Along with thousands of other fans, Adam (my videographer), our friend Brian, and I had one goal: get tickets to the Hearts of Pine game. We set alarms, logged in separately, and braced for battle fully expecting to land some regular seats.

What we got instead? Something way better.



The moment tickets went live, it was absolute mayhem. Screens were refreshing, queues were climbing, and hope was… questionable. I had over 2,000 people ahead of me. Brian wasn’t far behind with 750. Adam, though? He had around 600-something in front of him, our best shot.

We watched and waited.

And somehow… he got in.

With options disappearing fast, the only thing left was High Roller seats. We grabbed them without hesitation, thinking, “Oh cool, a free lobster roll.” And honestly, we didn’t think much more about it.



Game day arrived, and we headed in, following signs and trying to find where we were supposed to be. But the closer we got to the field, the more confused we became.

This couldn’t be right…But it was.

They checked our tickets, handed us wristbands with tabs for food, and just like that, we were in. Our table? Right on the track circling the field. So close it honestly felt like we had snuck into somewhere we weren’t supposed to be.

The view was unreal. The energy from the players, the sounds of the game, it was all right there.



And then there were the perks.

First off: a private bar. No long lines, no fighting through crowds. Just walk up and grab a drink. I went with a Bissell Brothers Hearts of Pine Pale Ale, and it was so good.



Then came the food.

We knew about the lobster roll but that was just the beginning.

When we got in line, I expected something simple. What we got was… next level.

Everything was piled high on trays like they weren’t holding back:



  • A buttery, overflowing lobster roll from High Roller Lobster Co.

  • A classic Maine red snapper hot dog (the real deal—not just any hot dog)

  • Rich, comforting lobster bisque with crackers

  • Fresh coleslaw

  • A bag of Fox Family potato chips (a Maine staple)

  • And to finish it off, a perfectly soft M&M cookie

It was one of those meals where you just look at each other like… is this actually happening right now?

We absolutely devoured it.



One of the most underrated parts of the High Roller tables? The space. Instead of being packed into rows, we had room to spread out, eat comfortably, and actually enjoy the game without feeling rushed or crowded.

It completely changed the experience.



We went in thinking we scored tickets. We left feeling like we scored an experience.

If you ever get the chance to grab High Roller seats at a Hearts of Pine game, do it. Even if it’s the only option left. Especially if it’s the only option left.

Trust me… you won’t regret it.
