CenturyLink Field has gone cashless

Leave your cash and coins at home, because CenturyLink Field now only accepts cashless transactions. In an effort to cut down on wait times and increase efficiency, the venue now only accepts credit, debit, and prepaid cards.

Those who don’t have debit or credit cards can visit one of ten cash-to-card ReadySTATION kiosks to convert cash onto a prepaid card that can be used anywhere inside or outside of the stadium as if it were a major credit card.

Enjoy new dishes during Seattle Dragons games

Forget about the boring ol’ hotdog and chomp into some dragon skins. CenturyLink Field Executive Chef Matteo Casini and his team have created special dishes just for Dragons games, including dragon’s tooth bone-in smoked beef short rib, and dragon bites, bits of smoked pork belly served with a side of coffee barbeque sauce.

Bags must be see-through

To eliminate excessive lineups, the XFL is limiting the size and type of bags allowed into the games. Only small clutch-type bags that are 4.5″ x 6.5″ or less in size, one-gallon clear Ziploc bags and clear tote bags measuring 12″ x 6″ x 12″ or less will be allowed into the venue.

The Pregame Tailgate Party is free

Those wanting to party with other Dragons fans can do so for the low cost of $0. The family-friendly Dragons Tailgate Party opens 90 minutes before kickoff and will have photo stations, face painting, tailgate games, and food and beverages for purchase. A valid game ticket is required to partake in the party.

Bring only factory-sealed water bottles

If you’re trying to limit spending in the stadium, be sure to bring along a factory-sealed bottle of water. If security notices an opened bottle, it will be taken away.
