I'll be curious on what the attendance will be? Will they count only the humans or does Rover count too?

Rover will be paying $15 to get in....er,...his owner will be buying a "Dog Package" which includes a ticket for 1 adult and a dog. (additional human tix can be bought for $15)

Reds do it something like 3-4 times a year. And from what I have heard it is always a big success and good time.

I do find it amusing that back when the Tribe was selling out all their games....there was pretty much zero promotions that amounted to anything and now they have all kinds of crazy things. Supply and demand I guess.....

There are about 10 teams that do this now. Not sure who started it but the Reds have been doing it for I think 4 years. This year they even have 2 of em. We took our puggle last year but she's too hyper, we went on the field in the beginning but she only lasted 4 innings I think.

Frankly I'm impressed you managed to pull off a double pun thread title...kudos on that one.

Can't blame the owners for trying to garner attention. With football season starting this is their last chance to try some sort of gimmick to draw a decent crowd

I would hit up a game if it were nickle beer night, dollar dog night, AND I got to play left field.

Hopefully after. Much more amusement that way. Especially if there's also a giveaway involving something that can be thrown on the field.

Yes.

I plan on eating and drinking while in the field and on base. I will become a player the fans love. Every fans player. Like the John Daly of MLB.

Nothing is a bigger 'promotion' than the owner spending money on a Cy Young winner!...oh wait he didn't do that! That is why the team has gone to the dogs.

Hits has the aewsome thread titles! I agree with the previous poster comments about bringing their dogs to the game. My dog would go nuts. So, Ringz: you not only want to be a mod, but you also want to play for the Tribe! Ha Ha! They ain't THAT bad! ;-)

I just heard on the radio that there are 267 dogs in attendance tonight. I would think that might be more of a liability than 10 cent beer night! Oh my, LaPorta just hit a bomb to take the lead into the 7th. Woof Woof!

Ha! We win. C. Perez gets a 5 out save and no fireworks because of the pooches. When is the last time we have seen a 5 out save?

Next season should be about the same as this one.
