The Minnesota Twins Aim to Hit a Home Run in Security Experience as Target Field Implements Evolv

Dave Horsman, VP of Ballpark Operations at Target Field, recalls the first full deployment of Evolv weapons detection screening on Opening Day. “We were in the security ingress area when the National Anthem played,” he remembers. “Normally with manual screening, we would still have lines of fans trying to get into the park. But when I looked up after the National Anthem was finished, there were no lines. I knew then that we had made the right decision.” By enabling the Evolv Express®, the Minnesota Twins were able to help achieve the following:

• Reduced security screening footprint by 77%—replaced 64 walkthrough manual screening stations with 15 Outdoor Evolv Express systems
• A reduction in security guard fatigue 
• A reduction in the average time required for secondary security screening over two-thirds—from around two minutes to 30-40 seconds
