September 9, 2024 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
FC Tulsa News Release
TULSA - It's time to bring your best (four-legged) friend to the pitch! FC Tulsa is rolling out the green carpet for dogs and their owners as the club takes on Las Vegas Lights FC for Pups at the Pitch and First Responders Night on Wednesday, September 11, at 7:30 p.m. CT at ONEOK Field.
The first 100 lucky pups through the gate will score a stylish FC Tulsa dog bandana, so they can cheer on the squad in true canine style. The Tulsa Fire Department and Tulsa Police Department will also be on-site with their firetruck and police car, adding even more excitement to the night with a special halftime showdown between the city's bravest.
Dogs are welcome to enjoy the action from the GA Lawn areas, where water bowls will be stationed to keep them cool and hydrated. Dog owners and their pups must enter through the Oil Derrick entrance (corner of Elgin and Archer) and sign a waiver confirming their dog is up to date on vaccines and that they accept responsibility for their dog's behavior. All dogs must be on a non-retractable leash, and only one dog is permitted per adult. GA Lawn tickets are available here.
In addition to the on-field action, the night will feature local pet adoption agencies, with appearances from Sheridan Road Veterinary Clinic, Skiatook Paws & Claws, City of Tulsa Animal Welfare and Spirit Ranch Dog Training. Whether you're looking to adopt or get some tips on training, this is the place to be!
Get ready for a night full of soccer, dogs and community spirit as FC Tulsa celebrates our furry fans and local heroes. Don't miss out on the fun!
