Mangia in the News: St. Louis Business Journal Introduces “Blue Note Express”
In a recent article, the St. Louis Business Journal introduced Mangia’s newest service, “Blue Note Express,” which will bring Mangia’s text-based delivery service to the Scottrade Center, home of the St. Louis Blues.
Mangia launched last year with RSLexpress at Rio Tinto Stadium, where heavy fan support propelled Real Salt Lake to its first MLS Championship. Hundreds of fans signed up to order concessions and merchandise from their seats, leading to a renewed contract with the stadium. Mangia is also available at Atlanta’s Philips Arena, where the NBA Hawks and NHL Thrashers compete, according to the article.
Dave Checketts, chairman of SCP Worldwide, which owns the St. Louis Blues and Real Salt Lake, touted the technology to a group of entrepreneurs and investors at the InvestMidwest venture capital conference on March 25 in St. Louis. “It’s hard to depend every night on winning and losing,” he told them. “Technologies can help make the live game experience better.”
Several other professional sports franchises have expressed interest in the service, the article reported, and the Mangia team hopes to take it to stadiums and arenas across the country.
