Tropicana Field will not only be missing their 300’s section in 2019 but they will also be missing cold hard cash as well. Now, patrons of the game will have to either pay by card or by Tampa Bay Rays gift cards, which they can then use at the registers.
Yes, Tropicana Field will become the first Major League ballpark to stop accepting cash, but they will be entering the growing arena of cashless businesses. Plenty of small businesses have opted to go cashless with the advent of Apple Pay and those little chips in almost every card.
