The Purina Club

The world’s first pet-friendly stadium section.

Bringing fans and pets together—permanently.

66% of U.S. households have pets, yet stadiums left them at home. Purina Club changed that forever: the first permanent, science-backed pet loges inside a professional sports stadium. A sold-out, behavior-shifting, award-winning build that reimagined what outdoor fan experiences could be.

The Challenge

44%

of fans reported feeling stress when having to leave their pets behind.

Fans loved their teams—but hated leaving their pets behind. We saw a chance to turn guilt into joy.

The Solution

The Purina Club

A premium matchday experience—for humans and pets.
