Getting snacks at Rupp Arena just got a whole lot quicker thanks to the new Wildcat Walk Thru.

Located on the upper concourse near Section 13, the shop is packed with a variety of concessions including bottled water, soda, alcoholic beverages + snacks like popcorn, chips, candy, and Hunt’s Brothers Pizza.

Guests enter the store by scanning their credit card, and Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology will detect when items are taken off or returned to the shelves, creating a “virtual shopping cart.” After grabbing their items, guests can do that — just walk out.

“Our guests’ experience is our top priority, and we’re dedicated to making each visit fast, convenient, and seamless,” said Brian Sipe, General Manager. “Customers can now pick up their favorite items and go, cutting down wait times and offering a seamless, hassle-free shopping experience.”
