Abilene Christian University has updated its policy on animals at athletic venues.

In order to align with university policy on pets, effective March 30, 2025, approved service dogs are the only animals allowed in all ACU athletic facilities. This rule includes, but is not limited to, Crutcher Scott Field, Elmer Gray Stadium, and Poly Wells Field.

This change aligns with the existing guidelines for Wildcat Stadium and Moody Coliseum, ensuring consistency across all our athletic venues.

The only exception to the rule is for any planned 'Bark in the Park' events, which will be announced by the ACU athletics department.

The ACU baseball team is hosting a Bark in the Park Day on Sunday, April 13 when the Wildcats host Utah Tech at 12:05 p.m. Dog owners will need to fill-out a waiver and provide information of the animal's vaccination history before entering Crutcher Scott Field. More details on the event will be released.
