Memphis Selects Evolv Express® to Enhance Fan Screening Experience at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium
Sep 23, 2026 | General
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc., a leading security technology company pioneering AI-powered solutions designed to create safer experiences, today announced that the Memphis Athletic Foundation has selected Evolv Express®, the company's people-screening system, for deployment at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, home of Memphis Tigers football. Installation of the Evolv Express Gen2 systems was completed late last month ahead of the upcoming football season.
As one of the premier collegiate athletic programs in the American Conference, the Memphis Tigers welcomes almost two hundred thousand fans to Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium throughout the football season. As fan expectations continue to evolve and venues seek to balance security with convenience, the foundation selected Evolv Express as their Official Patron Screening Provider to support its efforts to streamline the arrival experience.
Evolv Express uses advanced sensor technology and artificial intelligence to help detect potential threats while allowing guests to move through security checkpoints at their natural walking pace. The deployment will replace the venue's existing screening solution and support the foundation's efforts to provide a more welcoming and efficient game day environment for Tigers fans.
"Today's sports and entertainment venues are increasingly focused on creating arrival experiences that are both secure and convenient for guests," said John Baier, Vice President of Sports & Entertainment at Evolv Technology. "Memphis evaluated its options and made the decision to transition to Evolv Express because of our shared commitment to delivering an exceptional fan experience as well as the technical performance of the Evolv system. We're proud to support Memphis Athletics and help welcome fans to Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium as the program continues investing in the future of game day."
"Safety and guest experience go hand in hand," said Tabrian Arnold, Associate Athletic Director, Capital Projects & Operations. "Evolv allows us to enhance our security screening while providing fans with a faster, more efficient entry into the stadium. It's an important investment in creating a modern game day experience."
Memphis Athletics joins a growing roster of collegiate athletic programs and venues, as well as entertainment venues such as Nissan Stadium, that have adopted Evolv to help support security objectives while creating more efficient entry experiences for fans.
