Evolv Technology, a provider of AI-based weapons detection security screening, has announced its partnership with the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park.

According to the company, “America’s Most Beloved Ballpark” will feature Evolv’s state-of-the-art Evolv Express screening solution beginning on Opening Day, 30 March, when the Red Sox host the Baltimore Orioles.

Evolv says fans will be able to seamlessly flow through security screening with less interruption for unnecessary alarms, reducing the backups and long lines that have historically developed at the entry gates.

“The fan experience begins with creating a safe and secure environment at Fenway Park,” said Pete Nesbit, Senior Vice President of Ballpark Operations, Boston Red Sox. “This partnership with Evolv enhances our overall security program with innovative weapons detection technology and the added benefit of a quicker, more efficient entry process.”

The company’s Express uses sensor technology with AI to provide safe and accurate threat detection at volume and speed. It allows security officials to tell the difference between threats and the everyday items people carry in their pockets and bags in a free flow manner.

“The Red Sox are always working to create one of the best fan experiences in all of sports,” said Peter George, CEO of Evolv Technology. “Fenway Park is already partnering with JCI to keep the historic ballpark more efficient, sustainable and ready for the future through their smart buildings platform. We are thrilled to add to a level of innovation in safety without sacrificing that experience that makes Fenway such a great place to visit.”
