Niantic has confirmed that Pokémon Go Tour: Unova will proceed at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena from February 21-23, despite recent wildfire challenges in the Los Angeles area. The event will include both stadium activities and citywide gameplay across Los Angeles and Orange County.

The decision comes after the Eaton Fire, which affected nearby Altadena, has been fully contained. The Rose Bowl Stadium and surrounding areas remained largely unaffected by the fires.

Key Updates:

  • Event dates: February 21-23, 2024
  • Location: Rose Bowl Stadium and Brookside Golf Course, Pasadena
  • Citywide gameplay: Available throughout LA and Orange County
  • Full refunds available through in-app support until February 23

Niantic is working with the Rose Bowl Operating Company and local authorities to ensure event safety. The company plans to announce community support initiatives for those affected by the wildfires.

Important Notes for Attendees:

  • Event details may change based on conditions
  • Monitor official app and social media for updates
  • Refund option available for concerned participants
  • International travelers should proceed with planned attendance

The community response has been mixed, with some supporting the event's continuation while others suggest using the venue to support displaced residents instead.
