The game is played throughout the city and the country, but because there are three \u201cPok\u00e9 stops\u201d together at Veterans Memorial Park, the tribute to veterans is the most popular place to play in Winona. Some players just stand around or walk through the park, but the grass has turned brown where others set up lawn chairs, hammocks, and shade tents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople can come walk through the park, hold hands, sit on the benches, but don\u2019t turn it into a campsite,\u201d Reed said in an interview Friday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Reed was cited for criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct, but the city&#8217;s fathers are considering whether or not to place the park off-limits for gamers, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2016\/08\/03\/vietnam-vet-cited-after-angry-confrontation-with-pokemon-go-players-caught-on-video.html\">Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As the Winona City Council considered a measure to ban games at the park, council member and fellow veteran Gerry Krage said using the park to play Pokemon GO was disrespectful.<\/p>\n<p>If the ban took effect, people who played the game at the park could face 90 days in jail or a $1,000 fine, the Post reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winona, Minnesota, Veterans Memorial Park Committee Chair and Vietnam veteran Bruce Reed told Pokemon Go players &hellip; <a title=\"Vietnam vet; Pokemon Go FY\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=67284\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Vietnam vet; Pokemon Go FY<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":67285,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-67284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-society"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=67284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67284\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/67285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=67284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=67284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=67284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
