MLS expansion team ushers in inaugural season
with fan-friendly screening process
Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), the leader in AI based-weapons
detection security screening, announced today its partnership with
St. Louis CITY SC for the club’s inaugural season in Major League
Soccer.
St. Louis CITY SC has deployed Evolv’s state-of-the-art Evolv
Express® screening solution at the entrances to its brand-new,
22,500-seat, next-generation stadium, CITYPARK. With Evolv, fans –
whether they’re by themselves or part of a large group – experience
an accelerated security screening through the CITYPARK gates
without long delays for bag searches.
“CITYPARK was designed with technology, innovation, and the fan
experience at the top of mind,” said Matt Sebek, St. Louis CITY
SC’s chief experience officer. “We set out to bring our fans a
seamless matchday experience, which starts with getting them into
our stadium quickly and safely with Evolv.”
CITYPARK is another ASM Global facility working with Evolv. AO
Arena in Manchester, England and Jacksonville’s VyStar Veterans
Memorial Arena also use the powerful sensor technology with
artificial intelligence (AI) of Evolv Express to provide safer,
more accurate threat detection at unprecedented volume and speed.
Evolv Express helps security officials to tell the difference
between threats and the everyday items people carry in their
pockets and bags without having to stop and check every fan
individually.
“Evolv is excited to begin this journey with St. Louis CITY SC,”
said John Baier, Evolv’s vice president of sports. “Just as Evolv
sets the tone for a great fan experience for fans right at the
gate, CITY SC is sending a message to its fans right from its
inaugural season that they care about fan safety as much as they do
about fan experience.”
Evolv is the fan screening provider for almost a third of the
U.S. teams in Major League Soccer. St. Louis CITY SC joins a
growing roster of sports facilities across all sports partnering
with Evolv, including 2026 World Cup venues such as SoFi Stadium in
Los Angeles, Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, and Gillette Stadium
in Foxboro, Massachusetts.
