Pro Sports Rewards Apps

'My One Buffalo' Gives Sabres and Bills Fans Integrated Features

— July 18, 2017 — Lifestyle
Both on and off the field, professional sports teams are adopting increasingly technological methods of improvement, and the 'My One Buffalo' app is a harmonized system for fans of the upstate New York town's beloved pro squads. The app is a holistic tool for Sabres and Bills fans, providing them with everything from directions to loyalty rewards to social connections.

The My One Buffalo experience starts before one even heads to the game. The app includes an embedded map with parking options, guiding users to areas where parking is still available. Once at the stadium or arena, detailed level by level maps give information on the various souvenir shops and restaurants nearby, even letting users peruse menus. Making purchases at these venues earns fans loyalty points, and thanks to beacon technology, app users receive those points automatically — without having to scan or enter any codes at all.

3. Stadium/arena Mapping Technology - Detailed level by level maps are being integrated into sports team apps, providing fans with useful information on nearby concessions and retail, improving their stadium experience.
