The NFL Draft will kick off tonight in Chicago for the first time since 1964. And no one is more excited than Visa.
After strengthening its official partnership with the NFL and armed with a bevy of payment innovations, Visa is primed to deliver an NFL Draft experience that brings fandom to a new level.
Visa's commitment to be "everywhere NFL fans want to be" will take shape at two interactive locations: The first is a Draft Town exhibit that will connect fans with the full catalog of Visa payment innovations as well as NFL stars like Golden Tate, Charles Tillman and Greg Olsen; the second is the Visa-sponsored NFL Shop which will give fans discounts on NFL merchandise in exchange for test-driving their payment options.
Live from Draft Town via Periscope, Visa will also be hosting panel discussions with NFL athletes celebrating the value of getting time back when you pay with Visa Checkout.

Like the Draft itself, Visa's presence in Chicago is just a taste of what's in store for this season. Brand ambassadors will help fans experience Visa’s full roster of products while “on the clock”, including demos and activations of Visa Checkout, Visa mobile payments and EMV.
