Pretty sure that stadium is cashless now...

    I mean I'd keep the $300 and use my CC to get the beers. Most stadiums also have cash to card ATMs if you absolutely don't have any card with you

    Yup. I encountered one at a Boston Bruins game at TD Garden recently, after discovering I couldn't buy a beer with cash. Cash goes in, prepaid debit card comes out. Surprisingly, it didn't cost anything to load the cash - the same amount I put in ended up on the card. I did have to enter some PII to satisfy our bullshit KYC regs.
