December 6, 2023
Arizona’s first multi-sport entertainment center will utilize Connect&GO’s integrated platform to create a completely connected experience.
December 6, 2023 – Connect&GO, the global leader in integrated attractions management technology, announces a new partnership with ARENA23 to revolutionize the landscape of family sports entertainment. ARENA23, conceived by Fox Sports college basketball analyst and NBA alum Casey Jacobsen, is poised to become America's premier indoor multi-sport amusement park, captivating audiences with an array of cutting-edge experiences.
Scheduled to open its doors in mid-2024, ARENA23 will harness the power of Connect&GO's fully integrated platform along with RFID wearables to create an unparalleled, state-of-the-art guest experience. With over 20 high-tech simulators including the first full-size quarterback football simulator as well as a motion-tracking punching bag that simulates real boxing, the venue promises an immersive fusion of sports and technology. Utilizing Konnect, Connect&GO's comprehensive attractions management platform, in conjunction with RFID wristbands, the facility will seamlessly integrate eCommerce, point-of-sale, access control, cashless payments, F&B, waivers, and more. Unlike legacy platforms that operate in silos, Konnect leverages real-time data and proprietary Virtual Wallet technology to ensure a cohesive and streamlined experience for visitors.
"Connect&GO’s platform is very sophisticated and offers us the flexibility we need to curate exceptional on-site experiences for our guests, but more importantly, their team is truly committed to our success,” said Jacobsen. “There are so many point-of-sale companies out there, but the Connect&GO team has impressed me from day one with their visionary mindset and their dedication to helping us grow and evolve through innovative technology.” (Hear more about why Jacobsen dedicated to partner with Connect&GO here).
