Bank of America Stadium Reports Efficient Game-Day Operations Using Evolv Technology

Findings highlight high-throughput fan entry and real-time operational visibility supporting Carolina Panthers game-day operations

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV), a leading security technology company pioneering AI-based solutions designed to create safer experiences, shares new insights into the operational impact at Bank of America Stadium driven by ongoing use of Evolv Express^® for efficient, high-volume fan entry security screening. As an early adopter of Evolv Express, purchasing Gen1 in 2021, the stadium recently announced their renewal and upgrade to Evolv Express Gen2 and the addition of Evolv eXpedite™ bag screening for employee entrances.

Bank of America Stadium hosts over 40 large-scale events annually, screening tens of thousands of fans at each event. According to Evolv Insights^® data over the first four years of deployment, the venue achieved an average 93% clear rate* at fan entrances - equating to only 7 out of every 100 fans alerting - allowing most guests to move through screening without secondary checks. Thousands of fans are screened in minutes during peak ingress, while security teams have also detected and tagged thousands of potential threat items since the deployment of Evolv Express.

“With a clear rate around 93%, most of our fans are able to walk straight through without interruption,” said John Furr, Director of Safety and Security for Tepper Sports & Entertainment. “That makes a big difference during peak entry, where speed and visibility both matter.”

“Our customers are increasingly focused on understanding how systems perform in real-world, high-volume environments,” said John Baier, Vice President of Sports & Entertainment at Evolv. “This data highlights how venues can combine throughput and operational visibility to support both security and the fan experience.”

The results highlight a broader shift across sports and entertainment venues toward measuring security performance at scale, with a growing focus on throughput, operational visibility, and real-time adaptability. As attendance volumes remain high and fan expectations continue to rise, venues are increasingly looking for solutions that can support both security priorities and the overall arrival experience.

Beyond pro football, Evolv serves a large share of the teams and venues in the other major North American professional leagues with nearly 100 sports organizations around the world in total. Evolv also holds official designations with more than fifty teams and venues. More broadly, Evolv has more than 1,200 customers in industries ranging from healthcare to education to industrial workplaces as well as iconic venues and marquee events worldwide.

*Based on Evolv Insights® data across all Evolv Express Gen1 customer systems at fan entrances. Clear rate represents the percentage of visitors who walked through the systems without alerting. Alert rate varies across sensitivity settings and environments, and can be influenced by factors including, but not limited to, clutter, and operations and crowd flow. The secondary screening process is dependent on venue policy.
