I dunno, I think it is silly to take a dog to a professional ball game.
I don't think it's silly at all - whatever floats your boat!!! Just because it's not your cup of tea doesn't mean it's silly!

What's silly to you may be a great family outting to someone else. Apparently a lot of people agree since it sounds like when the teams offer the "dog days" they're popular events!

Why do you think taking a dog to a kid's ball game is any different? So what if it costs a lot? What you do with your money is your business just as it's the business of MLB fans if they want to go to a ball game with their dog! You don't think that just because it's not a professional game that you don't have to worry about "... and you will have to be constantly worried about what your dog is seeing and smelling instead of watching the game."???

If I recall you enjoy obedience competition with your dogs! It's not any more, or any less, silly than someone who wants to enjoy an afternoon at the ball park with their dogs!

Would I take the Hooligans to a MLB game? NO!!! BUT if I were a baseball fan I might!
