Monumental Sports & Entertainment has struck a first of its kind deal with Alipay, meaning that Chinese visitors to the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. can now use the mobile payment solution at concession stands, ticketing windows and souvenir shops. 

“We are thrilled to team up with our partners at Alibaba to become the first arena in the world to provide fans with access to Alipay,” comments Jim Van Stone, President of Business Operations and Chief Commercial Officer at Monumental Sports & Entertainment.

“Not only will it give our fans another way to pay quickly and easily, we will also have the opportunity to better connect with the global audience visiting the arena.”
