RapidFire Quote of the Week

Today's RapidFire Quote of the Week comes from Rapids Managing Director Jeff Plush, speaking about the implementation of the club's innovative new Rapids Kickback program:

"We will always look to enhance our customers' experience here at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, and we believe the Rapids Kickback Card is new technology that will deliver value to our loyal fans. We are just getting started with the Rapids Kickback program. As the club incorporates more technology, we plan to add more benefits.

"We are looking at innovations like ticketless entry and loading free points or cash on the card so people can use it as a payment method. In the future, the Rapids' most devoted fans will be able to come to Dick's Sporting Goods Park carrying nothing but their Kickback Card."
