The Rays will no longer accept cash at Tropicana Field:
On Friday, the team announced that Tropicana Field will become the first cash-free sports venue in North America.ESPN.com
The move intends to cut the average transaction time in half at concession stands, team stores, the box office and anywhere else where money traditionally changed hands.
They might have cut transaction time by opening a second concession stand. Also, do they not have vendors in the stands at this park? It strikes me that electronic transactions will slow down the delivery of a hot dog to your seat, unless you have an ordering app.
I think this stinks. Cash allows a person a certain amount of privacy. If you don’t want a record of your paying $10 for a light beer, that should be your right.
I guess we have reached the point where it is less expensive to pay a credit card company a fee than to hire someone to count money. I pity the people who use cash exclusively, that will not be able to attend a Rays game. Tampa Bay needs all the fans they can get.
