Minimizing Friction Points

Digital wallet payments enable our fans to engage and transact with us in a more fluid manner. There’s a lot of friction at the sports arena — battling traffic, distributing tickets, waiting in line. Payments is one of them. You have to pull out your wallet, deal with change or credit cards. One-click technologies minimize the friction. And we’re focused on minimizing friction points wherever we can.
