Brick's Hot Dogs Tickle Magazine's Fancy

What fans of the Oklahoma Redhawks have known for quite some time has reached the pages of one of America’s most popular magazines. According to the May issue of Southern Living magazine, The Dog Pound at AT&T Bricktown Ballpark is the place for some of America’s finest ballpark hot dogs. The article, entitled “Ballpark Fare, An Oklahoma City stadium hits the majors with signature hot dogs from five different cities” stretches across page 56 of Southern Living complete with photos of the tantalizing dogs and satisfied fans doing their part sampling the American ballpark staple.

The ballpark offers five unique hot dogs identical to those served in major league venues across the United States – Chicago Red Dog, Cincinnati Cheese Coney, Dodger Dog, Fenway Frank and Milwaukee Brat – and each are dressed in a manner exclusive to its hometown. Southern Living reporter Karen Lingo sampled all five over the course of a recent Redhawks double-header.

“To be featured in such a renowned publication as Southern Living is quite an honor for the entire Redhawks organization but especially for our fans,” said Scott Pruitt, Redhawks managing general partner. “They are the ones that keep the ballpark hopping with activity each game. Our hot dogs are worth raving about but so are our loyal fans. They are the ones that make baseball and hot dogs the American pastime.”
