If baseball is America’s favorite pastime and dogs are man’s (and woman’s) best friend, could there be a better marriage than the Barkyard concept at Petco Park in San Diego?

Enjoy America’s Favorite Pastime with your best friend by your side in an elevated backyard-inspired setting at Petco Park. All-new for 2016, The Barkyard presented by Petco features six semi-private, dog-friendly viewing areas in left-center field for every Padres home game accommodating up to four people and two dogs. Pricing starts at $100 for each viewing area and includes four tickets.

The Barkyard has a special entrance, is staffed by a certified dog trainer from Petco, and features open-air dog suites that seat up to four adults and two pets for as low as $100 for some games. The suite is carpeted with artificial turf, has an umbrella to create shade, and has water and food bowls. The Barkyard offers an in-seat menu and a complimentary homemade treat for each canine in attendance. Each dog also receives his or her own goodie bag with toys and treats and promotional literature from Petco. There is a “relief area” for the dogs, as well, and if the pet parents need relief, a Petco staffer will remain with the dog until they return.

The Barkyard in San Diego is a pioneer in creating an every-game opportunity for dogs and their owners to enjoy a pet suite by themselves and even become season-ticket holders.

What more could you want?  Do you think they allow cats?
