Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey have teamed up with Visa to update the point-of-sale terminals of a few lucky Minneapolis small businesses. The two football stars stopped by the businesses, treating local fans to food and drinks by making purchases with their Visa contactless cards.
Each local merchant has received a state-of-the-art terminal that accepts contactless payments, allowing customers to make payments quickly and securely. Visa is providing the point-of-sale upgrades just in time for Super Bowl LII, when more than one million fans are expected to flock to Minneapolis.
Larry Fitzgerald also tried out a new sport: curling. The football star and honorary Team Visa athlete took to the curling sheet in the hopes of fulfilling his dream of becoming an Olympian. As a first step, Fitzgerald visited the Four Seasons Curling Club in Blaine, Minnesota, learning tips and tricks from some of the state’s best curlers.
Carolina Pathers running back Christian McCaffrey supported Larry at the club, surprising fans and treating them to free food with his contactless card.
