As part of Made in Austin Weekend, Texas Baseball is proud to announce the first "Bark in the Park" event presented by Nulo Pet Food to be held Sunday, April 14 at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. If your dog is the No. 1 Longhorns fan in your household, this is the perfect opportunity to bring your favorite furry friend to the ballpark to let them see their burnt orange heroes in action against the K-State Wildcats!
Bark in the Park guests can look forward to an exciting day of baseball with dog-themed programming throughout the game. Dogs will receive a Bark in the Park water bowl upon entry and a Treat Bag courtesy of Austin-based Nulo Pet Food as they leave.
Fans who wish to bring their dogs to the game may purchase general admission tickets and a special Bark in the Park ticket for their dog that provides admittance for one dog that meets all eligibility requirements. Fans with dogs must sit in designated Bark in the Park seating sections at UFCU Disch-Falk Field (Sections L6-L7). General admission tickets for humans are $9 and Bark in the Park tickets for dogs are $12. Existing ticket holders interested in bringing their dog(s) must purchase a separate Bark in the Park dog ticket and must sit in the designated seating sections. Capacity is limited for Bark in the Park guests, so purchase tickets now before they sell out!
Bark in the Park is part of Made in Austin Weekend to be held April 12-14 on The University of Texas campus. Events feature a variety of fan experiences that celebrates what makes Austin so unique: live music, specialty food and beverage offerings, dog-friendly activities, and the Texas Longhorns!
