Saint Paul Saints let the dogs out on Mothers’ Day

Mothers’ Day ‘09 was officially Dog Day at Midway Stadium, thanks to the Saint Paul Saints and Downtown Dogs.
More than 300 dogs (and their people) turned out to see the Saints take down Winnipeg in a surprise rally. For the most part, everyone got along (though the question on every dog’s lips was ‘Mudonna the Mascot: friend or foe?’) and the prevalence of four-legged friends brought even more levity to the stadium’s always-fun atmosphere.
Giant water bowls scattered throughout made the ballpark dog-friendly, and some lucky pooches even made it out onto the field to show off their best tricks.
Memo to the Saints: More dog days, please! We’d love to see an autumn game with our dogs, but maybe next time the mascots can stay on the other end of the field.

Today was a great day at Midway Stadium. It was Take Your Dog to the Ball Park day! The Saint Paul Saints again brought out this popular event for fans and canines alike. There was grilling and swilling in the parking lot before the game, with both dogs on the grill, and dogs enjoying some treats with their owners. The weather started out a little chilly, but as the day went on, the sun shone bright on the faces of many happy dogs. The Saints pulled out a come-from-behind victory in the bottom of the eight, much to the delight of the crowd. To top it off, kids and dogs got to run the bases after the game. Many Sidewalk Dog folks were at the game, enjoying the festivities. Good times were had by all. A tired puppy is a happy puppy.
