Cajun Field going cashless... NOT

[fanof71]

OK gentlemen (and any ladies on here)

The card only was for the Alumni Tent.

They will still be accepting cash for concessions at Cajun Field.

But hey, it was a great thread.

Cash is King Again!

Cash has always been King, unless you ask a couple queens.

Did you inquire why the AA newsletter specified that Cajun Field would be cashless?

Maybe someone jumped the gun at the AA. Good news none the less.

The big problem I have with it is sending kids to buy concessions. Maybe one could bring a prepaid (Visa or Mastercard) cards or they could sell them in a vending machine. I would not send my grands to the concession stand with my credit or debit card because sooner or later they would lose one of them. I would give them a prepaid card and tell them to "have at it."

Turbine should update the thread title, but Jay came in and confirmed that cash will be allowed at concessions in Cajun Field.

Speaking of Cajun field are we getting the ribbon board on the ugly facade like we were supposed to get last year?

If it costs money, I hope not.

Save it for the new stadium.

Okay then, nothing like a summertime outrage thread. �� I can't believe I got pulled into this one.

Oh well..

True for government entities but not private business unless required by state law. Louisiana has no such law. However it is certainly a bad look for the University as over 10% of Louisiana residents don't have a bank account. Obviously this is tilted towards the lower income levels of our society. Doesn't take much of a leap to know where this heads for an institute of higher learning.

If your income is so unstable as to not have a checking, or savings account you’re probably not blowing money at expensive sports entertainment. I believe both checking and saving accounts have debit cards so we’re not missing many because of the policy.

Perhaps there’s a way to buy a stadium debit card for your kids good only in the stadium. Don’t know if such a thing exists, just seems feasible.

It was supposedly on order and supposed to have been in by the end of last season

As a parent of young kids, I can say…if your kid isn’t old enough to be trusted with your card for a few minutes, then maybe they aren’t old enough to wander around the concession area by themselves.
