Evolv Express® uses advanced sensor technology and AI to detect concealed threats. The system is designed to screen visitors effectively while helping minimize congestion and disruptions to traffic flow at entry points. Families and groups can enter a venue together at a normal walking pace, aiming to provide a welcoming experience that accelerates entry for guests.
Facility management at the Power & Light District selected Evolv after observing the technology in action at Sporting Park, home of Sporting KC, and at other venues in the Midwest. The District regularly hosts watch parties, concerts, and other large-scale gatherings, welcoming millions of guests annually.
“We’re delighted to be entrusted by Power & Light District leadership to perform such a high-profile and critical function,” said John Baier, Evolv’s Vice President of Sports & Entertainment. “KC Live! is further evidence that Evolv systems can play an important security role not just for stadiums and arenas, but for a wide range of entertainment destinations as well.”
Evolv Express systems have screened more than four billion people at hundreds of theme parks, stadiums, arenas, schools, hospitals, houses of worship and public events worldwide since 2019. In Kansas City, Evolv is the Official Fan Screening Partner of Major League Soccer club Sporting KC for all events at Sporting Park. The company’s systems screen ~4 million people daily worldwide, and are used by 1,500+ school buildings, 700+ healthcare buildings, and have multiple other customers in a diverse set of industries. In 2025, Evolv screened more people than the TSA each day.
