CLARKSDALE, Miss. — The Coahoma Community College Department of Athletics will begin a soft rollout of cashless game day operations on Wednesday, Sept. 2, inside the newly renovated Marion M. Reid Gymnasium in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
The transition begins as the volleyball program hosts its inaugural home opener against Northeast Mississippi Community College at 6 p.m. The initiative aims to reduce wait times at entry gates, merchandise tents, and concession stands by prioritizing digital and card payments.
During this soft rollout phase, cash will still be accepted at limited, designated stations inside athletic venues. However, fans are highly encouraged to use debit cards, credit cards, or mobile payment platforms for all on-site purchases to ensure the fastest service possible.
To bypass game day lines entirely, supporters can purchase digital tickets ahead of time by visiting the official ticketing portal at coahomasports.com/sports/2024/7/16/tickets.aspx.
The updated payment operations will continue during the football home opener against Jones College on Thursday, Sept. 3, at James E. Miller Stadium and will remain in effect across all home athletic events moving forward.
