The largest venues in Maine
Ranked by stated capacity, then by how much the record can prove. Open data rarely publishes a capacity for a convention centre, so a hall may sit below an arena here without being the smaller room.

| Whittier Field | Brunswick | stadium | 9,000 |

One more town has a venue worth its own guide
The town itself is too thinly mapped for a city guide, but the venue publishes enough to stand on its own.
- Fryeburg: Colonial Theatre, Majestic Theatre
Also in Maine, with nothing mapped yet to build a guide from: Millinocket and Presque Isle. They appear here rather than as pages with three facts on them.
