Dickey-Stephens Park going cashless in 2023

The Arkansas Travelers announced on Friday that Dickey-Stephens Park will become a cash-free facility starting in 2023 for all events -- including Travelers games, other baseball games and non-baseball events.

Cash will still be accepted at the Travelers' official parking lot, but cards may be used to pay to park. These cards will be accepted at all concession stands and the gift shop but will not be accepted at the box office. Cash will be used to purchase gift cards that can be used at concession stands and the gift store, per a Travelers press release.

Fans may purchase a gift card either online in advance or in person at the ballpark.
