TRAVERSE CITY – The Traverse City Pit Spitters announced Monday, Feb. 17 that Turtle Creek Stadium will transition to a fully cashless operation beginning with the 2025 season.
This initiative aims to enhance fan safety, streamline transactions and improve the overall ballpark experience, according to management.
The Pit Spitters will join the growing number of Northwoods League teams and Northern Michigan businesses using contactless payments only. The team cited their sister team, the West Michigan Whitecaps, at LMCU Ballpark, as an example of a successful team that made the transition.
All purchases at Turtle Creek Stadium, including tickets, concessions, merchandise and parking, will require credit cards, debit cards or contactless payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay.
For fans who only have cash, locations throughout the ballpark will have staff available to assist customers in converting cash to prepaid cards for use at the stadium or any other location that takes prepaid cards.
Fans who have additional questions on how this might affect their game day experience are encouraged to contact info@pitspitters.com.
