Borussia Dortmund rewards fans who use less phone at matches
Summary

Borussia Dortmund will introduce a new feature called "FanModus" at Signal Iduna Park during their match against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. The feature encourages fans to keep their phones away to prevent distractions during games. Fans will earn points for each minute their screen remains locked, with the possibility to win club-themed prizes. With nearly two-thirds of spectators reportedly using their phones at stadiums, this initiative aims to enhance the matchday experience by reducing phone-related disruptions. Fans must activate this feature before kickoff and can use their phones at halftime, but must reactivate it for the second half.
