With the purchase of a $5 ticket, fans will have access to the park's field and stands to search for and capture their favorite Pokémon characters from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET. All proceeds collected will benefit Second Chance Pet Adoptions.
"Over our last homestand we found that the DBAP proved to be a hotspot for Pokémon, with characters popping up in all areas of the stadium," Bulls General Manager Mike Birling said. "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."
It's the perfect time for the stadium to host the event, as the Bulls will be on the road for the two weeks and won't be playing at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park again until July 25.
