i am curious as to why the seattle mariners thought it was necessary to specifically write a rule against dropping off your dog at the baseball park, having the dog show their own ticket, and walk to their assigned seat on the view level to watch a baseball game without a human
@iliana this is anti-puppygirl discrimination
@wxcafe puppygirls are allowed in the entire ballpark though
@iliana someone knows about the puppy people
@iliana don’t want a baseball equivalent of air bud
@iliana ah. now i finally understand why my HOA president keeps saying that the city code is racist against dogs
@iliana I'd bet $10 someone actually tried dropping their dog off with a ticket. That's usually the reason silly rules like this get written; cuz someone tried it.
@iliana @aintnorulesays you can’t drop off your dog at the baseball park, have the dog show their own ticket, and walk to their assigned seat on the view level to watch a baseball game without a human
@iliana Meanwhile I'm sending this to some pups with the message "Bad news about attending Mariners games.".
@aschmitz well let them know this only applies to the "bark at the park" tickets at select games
@iliana Somehow I suspect those might be the games they'd prefer to go to, but if it doesn't apply to all tickets it might work out.
@aschmitz i am actually planning on going with a normal ticket to a bark at the park night to see if it is at all more autism friendly by association (e.g. quieter or less fireworks) or if it's just a normal game where they have a section you can bring your dog to
@aschmitz i'm guessing it's the latter but it's good to have data
@iliana The former would be nice, though that really depends on your orientation towards dogs. (Though if they're constrained in one section maybe it's fine.)
@aschmitz yeah, these tickets are only on the upper level (closest to where fireworks shoot off hilariously enough)
@aschmitz these seats are otherwise perfect for getting distracted by traffic landing at seatac airport while watching the game
@iliana No shade on the Mariners or, uh, baseball I guess, but I suspect I might get distracted in that way pretty frequently at a game.
