Love soccer? Love dogs? Get ready for Pups at the Pitch! Racing Louisville FC is excited to host their first Pups at the Pitch game on Tuesday, August 2, as the club hosts OL Reign! Grab your pup and join us at Lynn Family Stadium for a night of fun with your four-legged bestie. Gates open at 7 p.m. before kickoff at 8 p.m.
Tickets for fans wishing to bring their dogs are on sale now with a portion of all funds to be donated to the Kentucky Humane Society. The first 2,500 fans entering with their dog through Gate 4 — on the stadium’s open/Waterfront end — will also receive a free bandana courtesy of Feeders Pet Supply!
Want to bring your pup to the game? Purchase your tickets here.
Rules
- You must sign a waiver indicating your dog is up to date on vaccines and that you accept liability for your dog’s actions. The waiver can be found here or filled out on site.
- Pups at the Pitch participants must purchase tickets in the Waterfront End of Lynn Family Stadium. Season Ticket Members can use their existing ticket but must go to the Waterfront End.
- Enter through Gate 4.
- Dogs must remain in the Waterfront End and cannot proceed past Section 200 or 208.
- One dog is permitted per adult.
- No retractable leashes are allowed.
Should you take your dog to the game?
Yes, if your dog:
- Is up to date on all required vaccinations and old enough to be around other dogs and people (4+ months of age)
- Is in relatively good health and can walk up and down several flights of stairs
- Does well on leash and is not reactive toward other dogs or humans
- Does well with crowds and loud noises such as fireworks and cheering
Probably not, if your dog:
- Is unvaccinated or under 4 months of age
- Is a senior dog that would have trouble navigating stairs and being outside for an extended period of time
- Tends to get overheated
- Has reactive tendencies toward other dogs or humans
- Is exhibiting any signs of illness close to the day of the game such as cough, nasal discharge, lethargy or diarrhea. These symptoms can be signs of potentially infectious illnesses and it would probably be best for your dog, as well as the other dogs in attendance, if they did not attend.
- Has issues with loud noises (fireworks, loud music, sirens, etc. will occur before/during/after the game)
