College basketball fans attending the NCAA Final Four in Phoenix over the next several days won't have to go far to get cash.
Visitors can score all the crisp bank notes they need for beer, food and souvenirs at more than 50 mobile ATMs strategically located throughout the stadium — and at various NCAA-sponsored events taking place in the Valley of the Sun — all provided and serviced by Chandler, Arizona-based Eclipse Cash Systems.
"We are honored to have been selected to be the ATM provider for the NCAA Final Four event," Eclipse President Derek Smith said in a press release.
Eclipse, a company that specializes in the provision of mobile ATMs at major events, will deploy 24 ATMs at the University of Phoenix Stadium, the site of the Final Four event.
The company will provide an additional 30 ATMs at locations that include the University of Phoenix, Phoenix Convention Center and Margaret T. Hance Park, host site for the March Madness Music Festival, with headliners Aerosmith, The Chainsmokers, Toby Keith, and Macklemore with Ryan Lewis.
Eclipse has been serving large venues since 2003 and now provides ATMs for more than 300 events each year, including some of the nation's largest — the Super Bowl, the Rose Bowl, the Indianapolis 500 and Summerfest in Milwaukee
The company also caters to countless smaller events across around the U.S. with help from an extensive network of affiliates.
Eclipse has historically partnered with Genmega as the provider of its mobile units, and "the Final Four is no exception," Smith said in the release.
"We work hard to provide high-quality technology for our ATM partners and are pleased to have been selected by the Eclipse team as their go-to ATM manufacturer for the NCAA Final Four," said Wes Dunn, senior vice president of sales for Genmega.
