Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV, “Evolv”), the global leader in AI-powered weapons detection security screening, is the Official Fan Screening Provider of the Cleveland Browns. FirstEnergy Stadium, home of the Browns, is relying on the company’s systems, data, and analytics to enhance public safety and create better fan experiences.
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. “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 is among many sports venues supported by Evolv. Others include Gillette Stadium, SoFi Stadium, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
