SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater employ Evolv Express® systems, which use powerful sensor technology with artificial intelligence (AI) to provide threat detection at unprecedented volume and speed.

Evolv security scanners can be found at each entry of SoFi Stadium, the home of the Los Angeles Chargers and reigning Super Bowl Champion Los Angeles Rams, and YouTube Theater, a 6,000-seat performance venue situated under the same roof canopy as SoFi Stadium and American Airlines Plaza. Evolv’s technology at both venues provides a seamless entry, allowing security to instantly differentiate between potential security concerns and everyday objects carried in pockets.

“Everything about SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater is world-class,” said John Baier, Evolv Technology’s vice president of sports. “These are state-of-the-art facilities in America’s second-largest city and home to two NFL teams, including the reigning Super Bowl champions. We’re thrilled to provide our advanced weapons detection solution that matches the top-notch experience the stadium and theater provides.”
