The Portland Sea Dogs hosted a tribute to Elvis Presley on Wednesday to mark the 40th anniversary of the singer’s death.

Dana Z, an Elvis impersonator, performed prior to the game.

Any fan that sang at least four lines from “Hound Dog” at the ticket window received one free ticket.

Presley died in 1977 in Memphis, one day before he was scheduled to perform in Maine.
