-- Proximity Beacons Used For Durham Bulls Mobile Scavenger Hunt

Last month (July 2014), the Durham Bulls AAA baseball team installed about 100 proximity beacons using iBeacon technology throughout the ballpark and on the American Tobacco Campus in Durham, NC, marking the first and largest rollout of proximity beacons at any minor league stadium. The short-range, Bluetooth Smart transmitters can notify mobile devices when they come within 100 feet of the beacon. The Durham Bulls now have the capability to do more than just send coupons and deals to customers. For instance, Monday night's game (08/25/2014) featured a scavenger hunt for game attendees, offering free game tickets and t-shirts as prizes.
