The Sports Fan® —Turning Partnerships into Fan Relationships

MGM Resorts International’s partnership with MLB Players, Inc. pairs two organizations with complementary strengths and a shared audience of sports fans. The Sports Fan® is positioned to leverage those strengths, so the relationship continues to gain value over time.

02 · Building on what exists

The Sports Fan® builds on what MGM and MLB Players, Inc. have already created. An MLB event, player appearance, promotion, or digital interaction is more valuable when the relationship with the participating fan continues afterward. MGM already owns the relationships, assets, and experiences needed to create these moments. The Sports Fan® lets MGM connect them and extract more value from investments it has already made.

03 · Hit No Hit®

A game from TSF Games, LLC

Hit No Hit®, from TSF Games, LLC, a separate but related company, shows what that could look like: a real-time game played alongside the live broadcast, where every at-bat is a new decision and fans stay in the contest from the first pitch to the final out.

With comparable relationships in place with organizations such as the NFLPA, the opportunity extends well beyond baseball.
