Dogs welcome at Raley Field

River Cats to host 'Bark in the Ballpark' night on July 13
July 5, 2007
The Sacramento River Cats will open the Raley Field gates to a new 'breed' of fan on Friday, July 13th ... dogs!

The team will host "Bark in the Ballpark" at Raley Field where fans can bring their dogs to the park to enjoy the River Cats' 7:05 p.m. game against the Salt Lake Bees. Gates will open at 6:00 p.m. for regular, dog-less fans, but will open 30 minutes early (5:30 p.m.) for fans with dogs.

The River Cats will provide ample drinking water for dogs and, while their owners enjoy cotton candy, Dinger Dogs and other ballpark food, dogs in attendance can chow down on complimentary treats provided by the team.

The game will feature additional dog-themed promotions, including a pre-game on-field dog parade and a dog costume contest (that's dogs in costume, not people dressing up as dogs....though that is welcome as well).

Dog owners must sign a waiver for each dog prior to entry to the ballpark and all dogs must have proper identification and must be on leash during the entire game. A complete list of event rules and restrictions can be found at www.rivercats.com (listed under 'Theme Nights').

The River Cats encourage all fans (and their dogs) to purchase tickets in advance for this game. Tickets can be purchased by contacting River Cats Business Development Manager Kevin Hilton at [email protected]. For more information about the 2007 River Cats season, visit www.rivercats.com.
