In addition, consumers will never have to fear losing their ticket, since the ticket is stored in their cell phone," Ms. Tran continued. "There are very few things we don't allow into Midway Stadium," said Saints President Mike Veeck. "The wave and neckties come to mind. No tickets? This is a very cool technology and will revolutionize how we do business." Veeck continued.
