Set to open March 28 for a limited period until June, the &#8220;Smart Stand&#8221; near Gate 4 allows entry via credit card authentication. Customers can select snacks, drinks, and Hawks merchandise, and exit with items while overhead cameras automatically track purchases. The initiative aims to reduce congestion and labor shortages on the concourse. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softbankhawks.co.jp\/stadium\/hawks_smart_stand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SoftBank Hawks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=14866050&amp;ymd=2025-03-25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KBC<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-169796\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fnn_paypay-dome-shop_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Cashierless Store Opens At PayPay Dome\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fnn_paypay-dome-shop_2025_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fnn_paypay-dome-shop_2025_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fnn_paypay-dome-shop_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fnn_paypay-dome-shop_2025_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
