Sports fans at Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas, are now able to buy what they want to eat faster and easier, thanks to a pair of Express Grill outlets equipped with Amazon's Just Walk Out technology and Amazon One, according to a press release.

Guests visiting the stores can insert their credit card or hover their palm at the entry gates to shop.

"We are excited to be collaborating with Amazon and Delaware North to add this new shopping experience to Globe Life Field," Rob Matwick, executive vice president of business operations for the Texas Rangers, said in the press release. "The Express Grill locations will offer added convenience and quicker transactions — allowing fans to spend more time watching a Rangers game or event and less time standing in line."

When shopping at Express Grill, anything a guest takes off a shelf is automatically added to their virtual cart, and anything they put back on the shelf comes out of their virtual cart.

When guests have completed their shopping experience, they will be able to leave the store and the credit card they inserted or linked to their Amazon One ID will be charged for the items they took.

The Express Grill outlets, operated by foodservice and retail partner Delaware North, are located near sections 108 and 124. Offerings include cheeseburgers, hot dogs, bratwurst, sausage and corn dogs, along with an assortment of packaged beer, spiked seltzers, soda, bottled water, chips, candies and sundries.

"Delaware North has experienced the benefits of deploying Amazon's Just Walk Out technology and Amazon One in many professional sports venues," Casey Rapp, Delaware North's general manager at Globe Life Field, said in the press release. "What's unique about our Globe Life Field locations is both are truly one-stop shops — with a menu of hot, prepared food to go along with snacks and beverages."

Delaware North employees will serve as greeters and provide in-store assistance as needed. Guests purchasing alcohol will be required to show their ID to a store attendant for age verification.
