Case Study: Gillette Stadium achieves game-changing, fan-friendly security ingress and dramatically reduced entrance queues with Evolv Express

Improving Overall Security and Customer Experience for Ticketed Guests at Gillette Stadium

Gillette Stadium, home to the New England Patriots and New England Revolution, faced slow, intrusive security screening that forced fans to wait 10–15 minutes and endure frequent secondary checks from roughly 560 walkthrough magnetometers. To improve throughput and guest experience while maintaining safety, Gillette Stadium partnered with Evolv and evaluated the Evolv Express screening platform.

Evolv configured and deployed 14 Dual‑Lane Evolv Express systems (including an Outdoor Express variant), trained stadium staff, and provided Evolv Insights analytics and Cortex AI support. The deployment replaced about 560 magnetometers, eliminated the long entrance lines, cut secondary screenings to roughly 5% of attendees, freed security personnel to engage fans, and delivered actionable analytics for continued optimization — all outcomes credited to Evolv.
