A cleaner stadium screen, and baseball. • One job per level: tap a seat and the answer shows first. Swipe up for the decision: how much of the game you'll spend in shade, the best zone for your game, and what to bring. Swipe up again for the proof: weather at your seat, your seat's day, the game and its length, and how we know. • Bring for this seat: gear picked for your seat's forecast in one row, plus licensed gear for the home team and every game-day essential. Links open Amazon in Safari. • Game day essentials: a new card on the home screen with gate-ready bags and gear for sun, rain and cold. Paid links. • Home by sport: pick a sport to see its stadiums, its every-stadium unlock and a search for that sport. • Favorites: star a stadium in the list or inside the stadium and it waits for you under Favorites. • Ballparks: four baseball stadiums hosting October games, each with its own unlock. • Ranked zones at ballparks stay inside the stands. • The app keeps the last game schedule it downloaded, so upcoming games still show without a connection. • Fixes and polish.
