How can Sports apps use location? Here’s a case study.

Will recently moved from Boston to Manhattan. Being a life-long Red Sox fan, he’s not entirely happy about the move but knows he will be able to follow every game using his favorite MLB app. He tags his favorite players and he’s able to view favorite players tagged by other users in Manhattan. He is able to find the top Red Sox bars in Manhattan tagged by other fans and even discovered a place called Pat O’Briens that is owned by a Boston College grad and has all Boston bartenders. He found this hidden gem by viewing other users Faves Lists. So now he always has a safe place to watch his beloved Red Sox, away from Yankees fans.
