Leicester Tigers is making its stadium a cashless ground.
The Premiership league club said the move would make life easier for supporters using its food kiosks and bars.
The club said fans regularly moan about long waits in its queues, particularly at half-time.
It is the latest in a number of big national venues that have introduced card and contactless-only payments for food and refreshments, hoping it will lead to more efficient service and quicker queuing times.
The new £1 billion Tottenham Hotspur stadium was the first completely cashless football stadium to open in the 海角视频 a few months ago.
Payment at its 60 food and drink outlets is now made by contactless or mobile phone, or by chip and PIN for transactions above £30.
No cash is accepted for any purchase made within that stadium and its surrounding campus, including the Tottenham Experience.
The RFU has also made its entire Twickenham complex cashless. Only seven years ago, Twickenham had some 400 tills with only 20 per cent equipped for ‘chip and pin’ payments.

Tigers, which is currently inviting offers from potential new owners, said it had already made changes to cut queues at its Welford Road ticket office, with self-service kiosks for pre-paid tickets.
Supporters can also print off match tickets at home or load on to a smartphone.
The club and its new catering partners Levy 海角视频 have been working together during the summer to speed up its bars and food areas on matchdays.
A spokesman said: “Card and contactless payment will be the only method of payment available at all bars and food kiosks, including hospitality lounges, and extra paypoints have been added in many areas.
“The stadium’s long-established cup return system will continue to operate, with the deposit for reusable cups refunded to the payment card used on their return post-match.”
