FirstEnergy Stadium is using Evolv Express® to reduce lines at
both of its south entrances, the two most-traversed entrances for
Browns games, while also providing enhanced security. Built with
powerful sensor technology and AI, Evolv Express identifies
weapons, enabling security professionals to focus on addressing
potential threats and not be distracted by manually screening every
fan entering those gates. Additionally, Evolv data provides
Insights® that informs staffing to improve stadium security posture
and enable the busiest entrances to be properly managed and
supported. By streamlining the entry and security screening
processes, fans arrive at the south gates with the ability to not
break their stride or open their bags while receiving the highest
levels of public safety.
The stadium is operated by Haslam Sports Group (HSG), a
values-driven organization committed to unifying people through
sports and entertainment. Another property in HSG’s portfolio is
Lower.com Field, home of Major League Soccer’s Columbus Crew. Since
employing Evolv, the fan entry experience at Lower.com Field has
vastly improved, which has led to Evolv becoming its official fan
screening provider.
“We are committed to providing our fans with the best
experiences in our venues, both for our teams’ home games and other
major events,” said Brandon Covert, Haslam Sports Group VP of IT.
“Evolv has allowed us to significantly improve our stadium ingress,
which is a pivotal piece of a fan’s overall event experience. Based
on their industry-leading technology expertise, we are proud to
partner with Evolv as our official fan screening provider, and we
look forward to a long and prosperous relationship.”
FirstEnergy Stadium and Lower.com Field are among many sports
venues supported by Evolv Technology. Others include Gillette
Stadium, Nissan Stadium and Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
“Earning the trust of Haslam Sports Group is important to both
of our organizations as we are on a shared mission to provide for
the public safety of fans at stadiums and other public venues,”
said John Baier, Evolv Technology’s vice president of sports. “As
the Ohio community gathers to cheer on the Columbus Crew and
Cleveland Browns and watch musical headliners in HSG properties, we
believe they can have increased confidence they are in a
weapons-free zone secured by Evolv.”
