GettyOff to the side on the 200-level concourse at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, a vendor slumped against a wall exasperated. The stadium where Atlanta United of the MLS and the Atlanta Falcons play went to a credit card only policy this season, no cash. Fans with cash can use—fee-free—a machine to swap their cash for a card. “Sometimes the machine freezes up,” said a vendor talking about the credit card machine they carry around their neck. The fallout from talking to vendors about the unfair economy inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium is that vendors could be warned not to talk to the media.
