Utica Yard Dogs

Oneida County fans looking for a different kind of game day can turn to the Utica Yard Dogs, a football team based in Sauquoit. The team’s home games have been scheduled in the warmer months, from late spring into early fall, which sets it apart from the usual autumn football calendar.

Spectator sports like this are a good low-key night out for families and friends, with the feel of a small-town game rather than a big-stadium event. Fans who miss football between seasons can catch a game in warm weather and cheer on a local team.
