Okotoks Dawgs

The Okotoks Dawgs are incredibly fortunate to be able to share the fantastic news that thanks to private donors and in collaboration with the Town of Okotoks, the Dawgs have begun a major upgrade to Seaman Stadium.

The upgrade includes:

-new hospitality patios along the top of the Berm towards the left field corner;
-a new Visitors Clubhouse, which will become part of the outfield fence in LF;
-a Viewing Perch on top of the Clubhouse with a full hospitality section (think Fenway Park in Boston or the Crawford Boxes in Houston). It’s going to be very cool.

The Dawgs and Okotoks will also be playing host to the prestigious Baseball Canada Ray Carter 15U National Championship this coming August where teams from each province will be represented. Both the Dawgs and Town of Okotoks are expecting a major influx of visitors (in the thousands) to the town and our facilities.

Special thanks to MLA RJ Sigurdson and the Province of Alberta for all of their support!
