Power Up can now be found at Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans. We’re thrilled to help fans and staff stay connected during football season and beyond.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;"><span><br></span></span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Power Up has provided Charging Lockers to the stadium, creating up to four charging opportunities during some of the biggest events in the state.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:inherit;"><span><br></span></span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Charging Improves the Fan Experience</span></p><p></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Nissan Stadium seats 67,700 fans&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size:12px;color:inherit;text-align:center;">—&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">that’s a lot of devices in one place! By setting up charging stations, the Titans can help fans and staff avoid the hassle that comes with dead batteries and unusable devices. Charging technology offers countless benefits for stadiums:</span></div><p></p><p></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;"><br></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">1. Supports Mobile Ticketing</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Nissan Stadium uses </span><a href="https://www.tennesseetitans.com/tickets/mobile-tickets/gameday"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(45, 180, 45);">mobile ticketing</span></a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> for stadium entry. Digital ticketing is convenient for fans, reliable for stadium staff, and better for the environment, but it only works if a device is charged. Charging stations ensure that fans can always access the stadium, even if their devices are on low battery, leading to a smoother entry process.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">2. Improves Guest Experience</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">While a fan’s focus is on the field, they still need their devices to stay connected. Whether it’s texting friends to meet up at the stadium, or taking photos to share on social media, phones are essential. Cell phone charging opportunities eliminate the stress that comes with a dead phone, and guests will appreciate the comfort and peace of mind charging stations provide.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">3. Facilitates Digital Payment</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Nowadays, stadiums and other venues accept mobile payment methods such as Apple Pay. From buying a snack at concessions to shopping for merch, digital payment is a great amenity to offer guests&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size:12px;color:inherit;text-align:center;">—&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size:11pt;">but it’s useless if their phones are dead. Setting up charging stations near mobile payment areas helps reduce headaches and keep lines flowing.</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;"><br></span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-weight:700;">Power Up’s High-Powered Charging Lockers</span></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Power Up’s Charging Lockers offer reliable, convenient charging.

Keep Up with New Protocols</span></b></p><p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="color:inherit;">In order to keep everyone safe as we return to live games, teams across the country are implementing new health and safety protocols. Many teams, like<span style="font-size:14px;">&nbsp;</span></span></span><a href="https://www.nba.com/thunder/healthprotocol" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:14px;color:rgb(45, 180, 45);">Oklahoma City’s Thunder</span></a><span style="font-size:14px;color:inherit;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size:14px;color:inherit;">have their own mobile apps so that attendees can complete health checks and upload digital proof of vaccination.

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.
