One of the most popular promotions in baseball lat

One of the most popular promotions in baseball lately has been ‘Bark in the Park’ as seen at Dodger Stadium and other spots around major and minor league baseball. The @saltlakebees held the first of five such nights on Wednesday at Smith’s Ballpark, the beautiful downtown stadium that – when you sit behind home plate – gives views out to the snow-capped Wasatch Mountains. On this night, instead, the view was from the left field berm area where dozens of good dogs and their owners sat in a roped-off area to eat, drink, relax and watch the game. And even with unfamiliar faces and sniffs, the night was filled with good boys and girls who seldom barked ... until a giant Bee came into their area! But after a little bit, even the team mascot was welcome. And yes, one of the unofficial mascots for SportsTravel took part in the night.

Austin’s sports scene is just as vibrant as it’s music, that’s why Austin has hosted events for almost every sport you can think of! From the adrenaline of Formula 1 and PBR to the exhilarating X Games and ATX Open Women’s Tennis tournament. Plus, being home to Austin FC and The University of Texas Longhorn teams, there’s always something thrilling happening in the city! #TrueAustin @visitaustintx
