Evolv Aims to Improve Security Efficiency at Bridgestone Arena
Locally dubbed as “the biggest honky-tonk on Broadway”, the Bridgestone Arena is at the very heart of the entertainment district in downtown Nashville. It is one of the busiest entertainment venues in the world, hosting home games for the NHL’s Nashville Predators, Broadway shows, virtually every form of musical performance, the CMA and CMT Awards, among others. On January 21st, 2023, the Nashville Predators scored 2 goals within the first 40 seconds of their game against the L.A. Kings. Previously to implementing an advanced threat detection system, a large number of fans would have been stuck outside Bridgestone Arena in long security lines and would have missed that extraordinary moment.
Through implementing Evolv Express, Bridgestone Arena was also able to:
- Screen thousands of fans and patrons in the 12-minute “rush” before start times
- Reduce security alarms for secondary screening by around 40%
- Increased the amount of time fans and guests spend in pre-game festivities and concessions
