MLB Ballpark Apps Are Getting More Personalized

With the Major League Baseball season underway and the warming weather, baseball fans will once again be returning to the ballpark in the millions.  But before they head out, fans may want to download the latest MLB.com Ballpark application as it allows users to personalize their game experience.  This app is available for iOS or Android, and acts as a mobile companion with many game-day privileges such as mobile-check-in, social media, offers, rewards and exclusive content.

Fans can check-in to games using iBeacon technology, and use the My Journal feature to view their check-in histories as well access their exclusive content.  Other features include directions to the park and other stadium information, a social media clubhouse (includes social rewards for select clubs), and team schedule.

Need to know how to navigate inside the ballpark or find a particular food and drink vendor?  The MLB.com Ballpark app includes an interactive course map and directory, and even food and drink menus.

Like the ballpark and entrance music for a particular player?  Fans can purchase songs via the MLB.com Ballpark app on the iPhone.  Users can also watch team videos, or watch highlight videos from games attended.  More features available at select ballparks include: MyTickets Mobile for delivery and storage of all MLB tickets, a complete ticket section that features special club offers, social media integration, A to Z guides for each ball park, and an uploading and sharing capability for sharing personal photos of visits to the ballpark.  MLB fans can even customize their app to feature a designated favorite MLB Park.

Other features only available for select ballparks are mobile food and merchandise ordering, and seat and experience upgrade functionality.  As MLB.com explains, the Braves’ ballpark is one of these select areas:

The official MLB ballpark application perfectly complements and personalizes your trip to Turner Field with mobile check-in, social media, offers, rewards and exclusive content. Turner Field also offers merchandise ordering and seat and experience upgrade components. Check in automatically with iBeacon technology (iOS devices only) at Turner Field for exclusive Braves offers and in-game features.
