EVANSTON, Ill. – Prior to Northwestern's annual free movie night at Ryan Field on Thursday, July 21, gates will open extra early for Pokémon GO enthusiasts to Catch 'Em All.
 
Prior to catching "The Good Dinosaur" at 7 p.m., community members can arrive as early as 5:30 p.m. to catch Pokémon within Ryan Field. Sources inside the football team who are familiar with the game indicate that there are "a lot of rare Pokémon inside the stadium." 

Fans will enter Ryan Field through Gate K in the southwest corner of the football stadium. Several areas inside Ryan Field will be closed due to ongoing construction projects. Event staff will be on hand to help guide Pokémon GO players to safe and permissible areas.

Pokémon GO players will be asked to suspend their searches when the movie begins at 7 p.m. in order to be respectful of movie-going guests.

Complimentary popcorn and Coca-Cola beverages (while supplies last) will be provided for fans of all ages beginning at 6:15 p.m. as originally scheduled. Additional concessions will be available for purchase.

Blankets will be allowed on the Ryan Field playing surface but chairs are prohibited in order to protect the grass.
 
This summer's free showing of Disney Pixar's 'The Good Dinosaur' at Ryan Field is part of the starlight entertainment in the park series sponsored by the city of Evanston. 'The Good Dinosaur' is about a young dinosaur, Arlo, lost in prehistoric forests and his adventures and challenges to find his way home.
