Last night was Bark in the Park. Our local minor league baseball team, the Jacksonville Suns, admitted dogs into the stadium for their game against the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. Ticket prices were cheap too! For only $7.50 per person and $2.50 per dog we got to enjoy a whole night of baseball. We sat in the general admissions seating with other dogs and their families. Some people brought lawn chairs or blankets, others (like me) sat on the concrete stadium seating. It was a fun and relaxed atmosphere, nothing like some of the other sporting events I've been to. Dogs sniffed each other, kids ran back and forth, people chatted between innings, and the players interacted with the fans (much friendlier than the Major leagues). We ate peanuts and popcorn and kept an eye out for foul balls. The dogs and I even ran the bases after the game. What a trip!
Roxy thought baseball was boring, but the hot dogs smelled delicious! |
I had my hands full with the dogs so I didn't get many pictures. Sorry. I guess if someone really wants to know what happens at the dog-friendly ball games they'll just have to go with me next time. According to the schedule, the Suns offer another Bark in the Park on June 15th, and Dog Daze of Summer with pre-game dog parades on July 28th and August 4th. Who's ready for some baseball? -- K
