Case Study: Target Field (Minnesota Twins) achieves faster, seamless fan entry and a 77% smaller security footprint with Evolv

The Minnesota Twins Aim to Hit a Home Run in Security Experience as Target Field Implements Evolv

Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins, faced slow, intrusive security ingress after installing 64 walkthrough metal detectors—long lines, high nuisance alarm rates, lengthy secondary checks, and weather-related concerns all harmed fan experience. To modernize screening, Target Field evaluated and selected Evolv and its Evolv Express outdoor screening solution alongside Evolv Cortex AI, Evolv Insights, and the Evolv mobile app.

Evolv configured and deployed two dual‑lane and 13 single‑lane Outdoor Evolv Express systems, provided onsite training and ongoing support, and integrated analytics to optimize traffic flow. The Evolv deployment cut the screening footprint by 77% (64 detectors to 15 systems), reduced secondary-screening time from about two minutes to 30–40 seconds, greatly lowered nuisance alarms, eliminated opening-day queues, improved staff retention, and enabled fans to arrive earlier and spend more time downtown.
