REQUIRED WAIVER (click here)
Grab your pup and join us for World Pup - Pups on the Pitch! This will give you the chance to sit beside your canine friend while taking in an Omaha women and men’s soccer match. Berm seating has been set aside for dogs and their owners that day.
All dogs must be on a leash and accompanied by their owner. One dog per person.
You must sign a waiver stating that your dog's vaccinations from a licensed veterinarian are current. This waiver holds you (the owner) liable in the event of an incident. Please bring the waiver with you to the game and be prepared to present it when you enter the stadium. Waivers will be available if you do not bring one with you. Care and control of a pet is the sole responsibility of the owner.
All dogs must have the following vaccinations:
●
Rabies
●
DHLP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Para influenza)
●
Parvo (Many times this is included in the DHLP and indicated as DHLPP)
●
Bordatella (Also known as the Kennel Cough)
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is Your Dog Right for this Event?
Yes, if your dog:
● Is old enough to be around other dogs and people (at least four months of age)
● Is up to date on all required vaccinations
● Is in relatively good health and can walk up and down flights of stairs
● Does well on-leash and is not overly aggressive toward other dogs
● Is friendly toward humans and not excessively fearful
● Is an Omaha Mavericks fan!
Probably not, if your dog:
● Is still too young to mix with a big crowd (under four months)
● Is a senior dog that would have trouble navigating stairs and being outside for an extended period of time;
● Has aggressive tendencies towards other dogs or humans while on-leash
● Exhibits any signs of illness close to the day of the game (ie, cough, nasal discharge, lethargy, diarrhea, etc.). 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 he or she did not attend.
