Congratulations to the LA Galaxy, winners of the MLS Cup this past weekend with a 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls. The victory was the team’s sixth league championship (and tenth total Finals appearance), further cementing their position as the winningest team in Maj...

Another NFL season is underway. For me, the NFL off-season seems to fly by. Maybe that’s because there’s always NFL news of some sort, from Free Agency to the Draft, from Rookie aspirations to veteran contract dramas. Now that news cycle ends and the real thing starts, wit...

Congratulations to the Celtics. Perhaps in few months, one of our eleven pro baseball or ten pro soccer customers will be the next team to hoist a championship trophy.  We’ll be cheering on the parade in Boston today from our headquarters in Waltham.  Congrats to our home ...

Six of Evolv’s 11 NFL team customers are in the playoffs this year.  That’s six of 14 total teams, and at least one Evolv customer is playing in five of the six Wild Card games.

 Two of Evolv’s pro sports clients, Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United) and Nissan Stadium (Tennessee Titans), shared perspectives on how our Evolv Express' guest screening system has improved the gameday experience for fans and stadium employees alik...

All of the Columbus Crew's fans benefitted from an easy ingress experience thanks to Evolv Express and an innovative frictionless ticketing technology.
