This year, as we learn to live with the pandemic, more and more fans will be able to enjoy NHL games live at arenas. However, things look a little different this year; new safety measures have been put in place to keep fans, players, and employees as safe as possible.</p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><b>Mobile Apps Keep Hockey Fans Safe</b></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><span style="color:inherit;">From the </span><a href="https://www.nhl.com/sabres/arena/health-and-safety" style="color:rgb(45, 180, 45);">Buffalo Sabres</a><span style="color:inherit;"> to the </span><a href="https://www.nhl.com/coyotes/news/fan-safety-coyotes-institute-clear-health-pass-policy-among-protocols/c-320212914" style="color:rgb(45, 180, 45);">Arizona Coyote</a><a href="https://www.nhl.com/coyotes/news/fan-safety-coyotes-institute-clear-health-pass-policy-among-protocols/c-320212914" style="color:inherit;">s</a><span style="color:inherit;">, hockey teams across the country are implementing new digital procedures. Coyote fans need to fill out a safety check via the CLEAR Health Pass, a mobile app. Sabres fans can show proof of vaccination via the New York State Excelsior Pass or a CLEAR Digital Vaccine Card, both of which are mobile-based vaccine identification cards. Many arenas are also taking advantage of mobile pay and other touchless amenities to minimize contact.</span></p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><b>Improve Fans’ Experience with Mobile Charging</b></p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;">The new health and safety procedures mean that having access to a fully charged, accessible cell phone is more important than ever before for hockey fans. From entry with digital proof of vaccination, to paying for refreshments during the game, to ordering a rideshare home afterwards, fans need to be able to access their phones before, during, and after the game. But after 3 periods, and posting the highlights to social media, what happens if your phone is low on battery?</p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;">As a stadium manager or event planner, you can help ensure that fans’ phones stay charged and ready to go by setting up a mobile charging station. Little touches of hospitality such as this can go a long way to improve the guest experience––and it will translate to glowing reviews and returning customers.</p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;">&nbsp;</p><p style="color:inherit;text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><b>Discover a Branded Charging Experience</b></p><p style="text-align:left;font-size:11pt;"><span style="color:inherit;">Power Up’s charging solutions deliver both form and function.
