Default Hockey Arena University Project

I thought that with us doing a project on hockey arenas - something people here at CalgaryPuck know so well - this would be a great place to come for ideas.

Here's the situation. I am in 2nd year Commerce at Queen's, and we are doing a project on RFID tags for class. Basically, they are chips that can store information and do what seems like endless amazing things. We are charged with coming up with a new use for these chips and doing a business plan on it.

Basically, the idea we came up with was to give season ticket holders of sports teams a bracelet embedded with an RFID chip. What this would allow is that you would never have to worry about having ticket again, you could simply enter the building and the RFID scanner would know you're a season ticket holder and let you straight through.

Not only that though, we envision is giving the attendant there information about you (last game you attended, score of that game, where you sit) in order for them to provide better customer service to you.

From there, we have other uses such as computers being able to know you have arrived in the building, and having any food you have ordered waiting for you upon you arriving to your seat.

What I am looking for is feedback. Do you think this is a good idea? Also, if so, what other features would you like to see this RFID chip do? The idea behind it is that the more information you store about a person, the more personalized you can make the game-day experience.

Any help would be amazing!
