Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc., a leading security technology company pioneering AI-based solutions designed to create safer experiences, today announced that the company has renewed its partnership with the Philadelphia Phillies, extending the use of Evolv Express^® for fan entry screening at Citizens Bank Park, the team’s home ballpark.

The Phillies’ renewal reflects a broader trend among Evolv’s professional sports customers, as teams and venues that were early adopters of the company’s technology approach the end of their initial subscription terms. In the Phillies’ case, Express has been in use for all home games since the start of the 2023 season, screening nearly 12 million guests to date. This renewal reinforces Evolv’s strong position in the Philadelphia sports market, one of five in the country in which the company serves all the major professional sports venues.

As with other pro sports renewals to date, the Phillies have elected to update their Express fleet to new Gen2 hardware at Citizens Bank Park, adding enhanced mobility, improved camera resolution, and other features. The renewal also maintains the marketing partnership between Evolv and the ball club. Evolv continues to be designated as the “Preferred Fan Screening Partner of the Philadelphia Phillies,” providing the company with a brand presence inside the ballpark and an opportunity to use the team’s trademarks in certain promotional activities.

“Thanks to Evolv, our fans have come to expect a fast, seamless entry experience when attending games at Citizens Bank Park,” said Salvatore DeAngelis, Vice President of Operations & Security. “We’re excited to continue our successful partnership, and this renewal ensures we can maintain that high standard for years to come, including as we welcome fans from across the league for MLB All-Star Week in July.”

“We’re grateful for the ongoing trust that the Phillies organization has placed in Evolv,” noted John Baier, the company’s Vice President of Sports & Entertainment. “Citizens Bank Park is one of our longest-tenured pro baseball deployments, and with the Gen2 hardware update, this renewal ensures that Phillies fans will continue to enjoy our state-of-the-art screening experience.”

In addition to Citizens Bank Park and the other three major sports facilities in the market, Evolv also serves several other customers in metro Philadelphia, including schools, healthcare facilities, and entertainment venues. Worldwide, the company has almost 100 sports and entertainment customers and more than 50 official partner designations.
