If you believe an error has occurred, you can tap on the “Refresh” button to refresh the information in an attempt to better locate you.

Accessing Unlocked Offers

Once an Official Check In has occurred, fans can access any unlocked offers directly in their wallet. To do so:

While adding an “Historic” Check-In does not unlock any promotions or offers, it will allow you to document past events you’ve attended at the ballpark in your My History at any time. You can add an Historic Check In at any time for any Spring Training, Regular season or Postseason game dating back to 1903.
