Stroll
A mobile app that turns football stadium parking lots into pop-up mini plant nurseries before and after games. Fans can purchase and adopt micro-plants on their stroll to/from the stadium, with purchases stored in their car trunk during the game using climate-controlled portable planters that they sketch and customize with included pencils.
The Wow Moment
A fan walks toward a stadium before a big game and sees rows of thriving miniplants in the parking lot. They scan a QR code, customize a planter with the provided pencil sketching kit, and drop their new plant into a sleek portable trunk planter that keeps it perfect during the 3-hour game. When they return, their plant has traveled home with them - a living memory of the day.
