Patriot One Technologies announced Central Bank Center has selected the Company’s Gateway solution to secure entrances at the Rupp Arena and Lexington Opera House, which are a part of the Central Bank Center located in Lexington, Kentucky.
SmartGateway™ solution
The venues will deploy Patriot One’s recently announced SmartGateway™ solution and will be implemented in a phased approach, starting with entrances at the Lexington Opera House and the VIP entrances at Rupp Arena, eventually covering both facilities in their entirety.
Both venues are managed by the Oak View Group’s OVG360 division, which operates more than 330 entertainment venues across the U.S.
Security screening solution
We selected Patriot One as our patron security screening solution for protecting large entertainment venues"
“After working with Patriot One on several demos and testing the technology during live events at the Rupp Center, we selected them as our patron security screening solution of choice for protecting our large entertainment venues,” said Brian Sipe, general manager at Central Bank Center.
“We were previously using walk-through metal detectors to secure the entrances and experienced very long lines and unhappy crowds. That’s not what we want for our valued patrons when they come to an event at the Central Bank Center. We chose Patriot One to help us elevate that patron experience through their next-generation security solutions and weapons detection capabilities.”
AI-powered sensors
Using artificial intelligence (AI)-powered sensors, Patriot One’s SmartGateway unobtrusively scans for guns, knives, and other prohibited items without patrons having to divest personal items.
This technology is designed specifically for stadiums and other large venues that experience high throughput and allows for flexibility to uniquely tailor and optimize for site-specific security needs.
Physical security and weapons detection
SmartGateway is a perfect fit for the Rupp Arena and the Lexington Opera House"
“SmartGateway is a perfect fit for the Rupp Arena and the Lexington Opera House, and we’re honored to implement our solution into two of the hundreds of stadiums and venues within the OVG360 family,” said Peter Evans, CEO of Patriot One.
“In this age of security personnel shortages and social unrest, physical security and weapons detection are more important than ever. We look forward to working with organizations like the Oak View Group, and other NCAA venues as they evaluate the security systems in additional locations across the country.”
Rupp Arena
Rupp Arena is home to the University of Kentucky Wildcats and boasts seating for over 20,000 patrons, while the Lexington Opera House hosts touring Broadway shows, concerts, and more with a seating capacity of 900.
Both were recently renovated to provide patrons with an unparalleled entertainment experience and are a part of the Central Bank Center, central Kentucky’s premier entertainment and convention destination.
