Maybe it has to do with space and limiting the number of canines at the event. I mean, if you remove pitties, rotties, and sheps, the number of dogs go way down. Dogs needing a lot of room go way down, and dogs likely to get into a major scrap go way down in number too.

If the stadium BELIEVED that if there was a problem the victim would only go after the offending dog, maybe they could be a little more free. But they have to show that they were not grossly negligent. So if people in general wouldn't sue every time they got a scratch, or fell down because they saw a dog, maybe they would not ban the more interesting breeds. And of course, people WILL sue more than just the offending pet's owners, they will sue the owner of the stadium for allowing an event that included dogs of all shapes and sizes and breeds.

I hate to say this, but what a silly thing to want to do with your dog. Taking a dog to the kids' ball game is one thing. Taking a dog to the stadium where there are 50k people, and possibly a number of dogs, and it costs a huge amount, and you will have to be constantly worried about what your dog is seeing and smelling instead of watching the game. I dunno, I think it is silly to take a dog to a professional ball game.
