Local sports team helping many catch 'em all on Pokemon Go

DURHAM (WTVD) -- A local sports team is helping many catch 'em all Tuesday as the Pokemon Go craze takes hold in the Triangle.

The game is so popular, the Durham Bulls are opening up their field from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. so people can catch the Pokemon that are located at the ballpark.

Tickets for the event are $5 and the money goes to benefit Second Chance Pet Adoptions.

The Bulls said they realized Pokemon were out there when players were walking out while staring at their phones.
