New for 2026, fans can purchase two tickets for the price of one every Tuesday. Additionally, the first 500 fans will receive a Dog Day t-shirt, featuring that week’s breed of the game, sponsored by Elanco. Pups can enjoy tail-wagging activities throughout the park, while their owners enjoy games, drink specials and more thanks to Twisted Tea.
