We love and miss Chicago. Chicago has the best sports teams and an attraction that we miss the most. If you a Chicagoan, a trip to the ballpark to watch your favorite team is a must. The Chicago White Sox, baseball team based in the South Side of Chicago, has won six American League pennants and three World Series titles, most recently in 2005. The Chicago White Sox have held dog-friendly games at the ballpark for nearly 20 seasons.

Recently, we were invited to attend White Sox 2015 Bark At The Park held at U.S. Cellular Field, Wednesday, September 16. The Bark At The Park event was presented by AvoDerm Natural Pet Foods and Nylabone.
AvoDerm Natural Pet Food is a premium dog and cat food manufacturer. Their formulas are loaded with high-quality meat proteins, wholesome grains, antioxidant nutrients plus vitamins, and minerals. It also contains California avocados for healthy skin and coat.
Nylabone is a manufacturer of dog chews, bones, treats, & toys. Their chews are designed to meet the chewing needs of any dog – no matter the breed, size or chew strength.
Since we are currently based in SoCal, we were unable to attend this fun event. We were able to follow the event and see some of the dogs via White Sox, AvoDerm, and Nylabone social media accounts. The Chicago White Sox has also provided us some photos (copyright 2015 Ron Vesely/Chicago White Sox) to share with our readers.
There were about 700 dogs that attended and participated in the “pup rally” parade.
Many dogs wore White Sox costumes and accessories.
Special designated seating areas were provided for the dogs and their owners for this special event, Chicago White Sox Bark At The Park. I think Bark At The Park is such a unique and fun experience for both the dogs and their owners. Also, it is an awesome promotion for the Chicago White Sox sports team.
There are only 3 Bark At The Park events left. If you live in NY, Pittsburg, and Washington, try to attend.
New York Mets:
New York Mets vs Washington Nationals – Fri, Oct 2nd at 7:10 pm (Sponsored by Nylabone & AvoDerm)

Have you and your dog ever been to a baseball game together?
Oh that was a super event… I wish I would be there too :o) but we can watch the fotos of that event, that’s cool too :o)
What fun! My husband follows the Nationals but we can’t make it for Bark in the Park…maybe next year!
My Texas Rangers do a Bark in the Park too! I’m not always able to go, but it’s a pawesome time!
cool event!
Hi Y’all!
Sadly we don’t live anywhere where there is baseball.
Humans lived for awhile on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and a minor league team used to do a bark in the park but in August or early September when it was too hot and miserable for a thick coated Chessie to attend.
Y’all come on by,
Hawk aka BrownDog
What a fun event! We would love to attend something similar up here!
