Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. a leading security technology company pioneering AI-based solutions designed to create safer experiences, today announced that it has entered a partnership with Shell Energy Stadium, home of the Houston Dynamo FC and Houston Dash, both pro soccer teams. Under the terms of the partnership, the stadium has entered a multi-year subscription agreement for Evolv Express®, the company’s flagship concealed weapons detection system. Evolv has also been designated as a “Proud Partner” of the club.
The Texas stadium selected Evolv as a key investment aimed at improving the guest experience through more efficient and streamlined entry for all events at the venue. “At Shell Energy Stadium, we are focused on delivering a high-quality experience from the moment guests arrive,” said Shaun Johnson, General Manager of Facilities and Operations. “We are always looking for ways to improve efficiency and comfort for our fans, and this investment helps create a smoother entry process across all of our events.”
Evolv Express uses advanced sensor technology and AI to screen guests while allowing individuals to move through entry points at a natural walking pace. Evolv Express systems have been deployed across all public and non-public entry points at the stadium, helping to manage entry flow and support a more convenient arrival experience for fans and guests.
“We are proud to partner with Shell Energy Stadium to support their vision for an improved guest experience,” said John Baier, Evolv’s Vice President of Sports & Entertainment. “Our goal is to help create safer, more efficient entry experiences so guests can focus on enjoying their event.”
The addition of Evolv Express is part of the stadium’s ongoing commitment to enhance the guest experience as Houston prepares for a significant period of upcoming sports and entertainment events. With a full calendar that includes professional soccer, international matches, concerts, and community events, the stadium continues to invest in creating a welcoming, efficient, and enjoyable environment for every guest.
