NFL Team Houston Texans Now Accepts Bitcoin Payments For Game Suites

The American professional football team, the Houston Texans, has become the latest team in the National Football League (NFL) to accept Bitcoin as payment for its single game suites. The club said it had already made its first crypto sale after selling a suite to digital marketing agency EWR Digital.

Single game suites are exclusive football viewing rooms in stadiums that accommodate a small number of fans who want access to unique benefits such as food and beverage and a preferred game day experience.

Houston Texans Partners BitWallet

The development is part of a partnership agreement with US-based cryptocurrency platform BitWallet. According to the announcement, the latter has become the official digital currency wallet of the Houston Texans.

BitWallet will facilitate crypto payments for game suites and convert the proceeds into US dollars for the club. Aside from BTC, Texans fans may be able to pay with other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) since these assets are supported on the BitWallet platform.

Company CEO John T. Perrone commented on the development, noting that “digital currency has become a primary means of payment, and by partnering with BitWallet, the Texans are leading the way in the NFL.”

Greg Grissom, Houston Texans president, said:

“We are proud to partner with BitWallet to offer an exciting option for our fans looking to enjoy Texans game day in one of our suites.”

NFL teams adopt crypto

Although the Houston Texans claim to be the first NFL team to accept crypto payments, the Nashville-based rival Tennessee Titans announced in April that it had partnered with digital asset fund UTXO Management to enable bitcoin payments, allowing fans to buy season tickets , game suites and sponsorship with BTC.

Meanwhile, aside from the Texans and Titans, other NFL teams have gained exposure to the crypto industry through exclusive partnerships and sponsorship deals.

In April, the Dallas Cowboys signed a sponsorship deal with crypto exchange and wallet provider BlockchainCom, making the exchange the exclusive partner and sponsor of the NFL team.
