Evolv Technology has recently implemented its advanced Evolv Express system at the Target Center, home to the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves and the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx in Minneapolis.
This new addition is part of Evolv's role as the Preferred Patron Screening Provider for the multi-use venue, which aims to enhance security and streamline entry processes for guests.
Screening Solution for Major Events
The installation of nine Evolv Express systems at Target Center has already been put to effective use during the WNBA Finals, accommodating record-breaking audiences.
These systems are now a permanent fixture, designed to support all Timberwolves and Lynx home games
These systems are now a permanent fixture, designed to support all Timberwolves and Lynx home games, as well as concerts, shows, and a variety of other events held at the arena. By adopting this technology, attendees can experience a smoother entry process without the need to remove personal items for security checks.
Enhancing Guest Experience
David Feeley, the General Manager of Target Center under ASM Global, stated, “We’re very excited to introduce Evolv Express to our guests who enter the Target Center. With our old system, guests had to divest everything into the security screening tray, now with Evolv they don’t, and it helps to increase the speed our guests enter the building while still enabling us to prioritize safety.”
This transition signifies a significant improvement in guest experience and operational efficiency at the venue.
Partnerships and Deployments
According to John Baier, Evolv's Vice President of Sports, “Evolv is proud of its official partnership with Target Center. It’s gratifying to know that Express helps deliver a world-class fan experience for NBA and WNBA fans and all the others that enjoy events at Target Center.”
This partnership is part of Evolv's broader collaboration with ASM Global, a company in the live events industry that manages numerous venues worldwide.
Global Trust and Expansion
As ASM Global North America's Preferred Patron Screening Technology Partner, Evolv has deployed its Express system across select stadiums, arenas, and convention centers managed by ASM.
Evolv's technology supports over 40 professional sports teams across major leagues, establishing a trusted relationship with more than 850 clients globally, reinforcing its reputation for enhancing security at large-scale venues.
