New State-of-the-Art Lower.com Field Delivers Efficient Fan Ingress Experiences with Evolv

Just a few years ago, the future of the Major League Soccer (MLS) club Columbus Crew looked bleak. The current owner of the Crew wanted to relocate the club to Austin, Texas. A group of avid fans formed #SavetheCrew had fought to keep the club in Columbus—and won. “The Haslam and Edwards families wanted to build an unparalleled fan ingress experience from the very start—and that is exactly what we did with technologies like those from Evolv,” says Brandon Covert, VP of IT, Haslam Sports Group. 

By enabling Evolv Express®, Lower.com Stadium was able to achieve the following:

• Helped to process 80% of fans (16,000) entering the stadium through one gate in 20 minutes
• Helped to detect “ghost” weapons made with 3D printers
• Helped to deliver touchless, self-service fan ingress – from ticketing to security screening
