WASHINGTON (PRWEB) November 08, 2017 -- Fortress, the world’s leading provider of fan engagement solutions in professional sports, today announced that it was selected by the Phoenix Suns to develop Arena Cash, an exclusive stored value program offered to members of the SixthMan season ticket program.
Fans with Arena Cash will be able to purchase concessions and merchandise quickly, easily, and seamlessly using their existing membership cards.
