CenturyLink Field to go cashless ahead of Seattle Dragons XFL home opener

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

CenturyLink Field, home of the SeattleSeahawks, Sounders and now the XFL's Dragons, announced Monday in a news release it will go cashless.

The stadium said the move to credit- and debit-only transactions was "an effort to boost guest experience through faster lines and more efficient sales processes." The WAMU Theater and CenturyLink Field Event Center will also be affected.

Depending on the event about 75% of all concessions purchases were cashless before the announcement, David Young, the general manager of CenturyLink Field, said in the news release. The percentage jumped to 90% for retail purchases.

If Seattle sports fans do bring cash, the stadium will have a solution. Ten cash-to-card kiosks will be located throughout the building, free to use and can "convert as little as $1 cash onto a prepaid card," that the news release said can be used anywhere outside the stadium that accepts major credit cards.

1. As long as the cash can be converted completely.

$1 cash yields a $1 card.

I'm one of those people that prefers to use cash for lots of things, including buying snacks at sports venues.

Earlier today I turned down the offer to get a store credit card. I actually have two or three store credit cards, but since I prefer paying cash for most things, I will use the credit card (mainly if they are offering a discount on the purchase using the card) and then promptly use the cash I have with me to pay the charge.

For me, paying in cash is a much better way to control and monitor my spending.
