The MLB isn’t as cool as the NBA. It’s not as monstrous as the NFL. It has a high barrier for entry and a visibility problem.

Cheap seats, try free seats
Bleacher seats? No thanks.
We’re pairing with Old Dominion, the official freight carrier of Major League Baseball, to create the best box seats in the game.
Our custom freight container will travel across the country all summer, visiting parks and providing free fieldside seats for kids. What’s more: you’re in charge of where it’s heading next. Vote on MLB NXT and it may show up at your hometown park soon.
