Minor League Baseball (MiLB) has extended its official partnership with technology and payment service provider FIS Global through 2022. The deal will impact both fan experience and backend operations.
The league will look to implement FIS’s payment and fan engagement technologies as the preferred payment and loyalty technology provider across MiLB’s 200-plus member teams.
In 2017, the first year of the MiLB-FIS partnership, just 20 teams experimented with FIS. This season, FIS will establish an “Innovation Dugout” exhibit at Bragan Field in Jacksonville (home of the Double-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp team, a minor league affiliate of the Marlins) to showcase how its technology will contribute to MiLB teams—the MiLB-FIS deal is centered around MiLB’s “Ballparks of the Future” initiative.
