GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS ATTEMPT

night at Shaw Park on Saturday, June 17th when the Goldeyes take on the St. Paul Saints at 6:05 p.m.
Bark in the Park is a special dog-friendly baseball game where fans are invited to bring their dogs to watch a Goldeyes
game. This year’s game is taking things to the next level with expanded ballpark seating plus an official Guinness World
Records™ title attempt!
The current Guinness World Records title for Most Dogs Attending a Sporting Event is 1,122 dogs, achieved by the
Chicago White Sox in 2016.
Important Information about the Guinness World Records™ attempt
