Case Study: SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater achieve faster, frictionless guest ingress and cut managed security systems by 85% with Evolv

SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater Stay on the Leading Edge of Guest Experience with Evolv Technology

SoFi Stadium and YouTube Theater in Inglewood, CA — the 70,000‑seat SoFi Stadium and 6,000‑seat YouTube Theater that host 200+ events annually — were struggling with slow, intrusive ingress: roughly 170 walkthrough metal detectors created long lines, frequent nuisance alerts, and stressful secondary screenings. To modernize screening and improve the guest experience they partnered with Evolv, evaluating and selecting the Evolv Express system alongside Evolv Cortex AI® and Evolv Insights®.

Evolv deployed an initial 22 Evolv Express units (now 27 single- and dual‑lane systems), provided hands‑on and online training, and integrated Cortex AI and Insights analytics. The result: an 85% reduction in systems to manage (from ~170 to 27), more than 2 million guests screened since deployment (with >5 million anticipated annually), dramatically fewer alerts and shorter queues, improved ingress satisfaction scores, and freed security staff to engage guests — all delivered by Evolv.
