Kaval also said private suites are a way for groups of six to socially distance themselves at a time when current state health guidelines are limiting stadium seating to two and four pods. The bitcoin offer ends on April 1, according to the release.
Earlier this month, Mark Cuban's Dallas Mavericks began allowing fans to purchase merchandise and tickets using dogecoin.
