Pokémon GO Theme Nights Are Coming To MLB Ballparks Across the US

Niantic and Major League Baseball (MLB) are teaming up to immerse Pokémon GO players in MLB ballparks. No stranger to themed nights, MLB ballparks will host official Club PokéStops, Gyms, and more. This partnership continues to highlight how video games and sports are more symbiotic than some may think. Sponsoring Pokemon GO theme nights are set to bring people together.

With this partnership, Pokémon GO will closely integrate at MLB ballparks this year. Starting Opening Day, each ballpark will get official Club Branded PokéStops and Gyms and Official Routes, connecting attendees to various important locations throughout each venue while collecting rewards.
