GZ6G Technologies Corp. (Green Zebra) has signed a strategic partnership with the Kansas City Royals that is effective immediately.
As a proud technology partner of the Kansas City Royals, Green Zebra has obtained sponsorship rights, within the venue, across IPTV (internet protocol television) and fans’ mobile devices during live games and other events. Using Kauffman Stadium’s proprietary Wi-Fi platform, Green Zebra’s interface will provide fans with quick and secure Internet access on their mobile device, along with relevant messaging, such as food and merchandise discounts and urgent updates such as stadium or security information across the venue’s IPTVs.
“At Kauffman Stadium, we’re always looking for innovative ways to provide our fans with the best experience possible,” said Alex Schulte, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships for the Kansas City Royals. “We are excited to announce GZ6G as our proud technology partner and are looking forward to collaborating with them to help us make impactful decisions here at the Royals. This partnership will ensure the best Wi-Fi connection for our fans while allowing our organization to reach more people than ever before.”

“Our partnership with the Kansas City Royals signals an important start for us and the team,” said Coleman Smith, CEO of Green Zebra. “Clearly there are benefits for both parties, but this also opens doors for more MLB teams in addition to the NFL, NHL, NBA, NCAA, and other professional leagues to get in on the ground floor of smart-stadium technology. Over the next several years, this form of marketing will be prevalent in most stadiums and preparing for this now positions sports leagues as industry innovation leaders. It also shows consideration for fans and their experiences. Smart-stadium connectivity means keeping fans engaged and informed with relevant promotions, real-time updates, and urgent information.”
Green Zebra’s Wi-Fi portal technology integration with the Royals ensures brand partners will receive location-based, in-venue exposure to consumers while satisfying the Royals’ desire for increased revenue through sponsorship. Green Zebra and the Royals organization will work hand in hand to manage, operate, and sell sponsorship and advertising assets.
