ABOUT PUPS AT THE PITCH
Bring your furry friend and join us for Pups at the Pitch as our women’s Gainbridge Super League squad takes on Tampa Bay Sun FC! The match is presented by Central Bank.
All dogs must enter through the Northeast Gate, and a signed waiver is required, confirming your pup is up to date on all vaccines.
The first 500 dogs through the gate will receive a FREE Lexington SC dog bandana! Dogs are welcome in Sections 122 & 123. Don’t miss this paw-some night of soccer and tail-wagging fun!
Both Saved by Fate Dog Rescue and the Lexington Humane Society will be on-site with adoptable dogs looking for their forever homes.

SHOULD YOU TAKE YOUR DOG TO THE GAME?
Yes, if your dog:
- Is up to date on all required vaccinations and old enough to be around other dogs and people (4+ months of age)
- Is in relatively good health and can walk up and down several flights of stairs
- Does well on leash and is not reactive toward other dogs or humans
- Does well with crowds and loud noises such as fireworks and cheering
Probably not, if your dog:
- Is unvaccinated or under 4 months of age
- Is a senior dog that would have trouble navigating stairs and being outside for an extended period of time
- Tends to get overheated
- Has reactive tendencies toward other dogs or humans
- Is exhibiting any signs of illness close to the day of the game such as cough, nasal discharge, lethargy or diarrhea. These symptoms can be signs of potentially infectious illnesses and it would probably be best for your dog, as well as the other dogs in attendance, if they did not attend.
- Has issues with loud noises (fireworks, loud music, sirens, etc. will occur before/during/after the game)
