Pokemon GO, which was released just last week, already is the most downloaded mobile app of all time. It allows people to catch their favorite Pokemon characters in real-world settings, and one of those places now is the home field of the Durham Bulls, a Triple-A baseball team.
“Over our last homestand we found that the (Durham Bulls Athletic Park) proved to be a hotspot for Pokémon, with characters popping up in all areas of the stadium,” Bulls general manager Mike Birling said in a press release. “The problem was, many of the Pokémon were on the field, and our fans weren’t able to catch them. With the team on the road for two weeks, though, we thought this would be a perfect time to allow fans to catch the previously unattainable characters.”
Minor league baseball teams typically have really fun and unique promotions to draw fans, and this is no exception.
It’s all for a good cause, too. It costs $5 to enter the park and catch the Pokemon, and all of the proceeds will go to Second Chance Pet Adoptions.
So what are you waiting for? Go catch ’em all Tuesday.
