NASHVILLE (WSMV) - The new technology in Nissan Stadium is getting fans inside safer and faster.
Evolv machines now sit outside Nissan's gates. Their sensors' artificial intelligence are strong enough to pick up prohibited items anywhere and on any person in the stadium.
"They've been able to pick up prohibited items before they can even get to gate cueing areas," said David Haywood, Director of Guest Safety at Nissan Stadium.
As a result, bag checks are not necessary to enter the stadium.
According to Haywood, gate staffing has been reduced by more than half. This allows security to be devoted to other areas.
In the last three home games, 254 prohibited items were intercepted. Most of these items were handbags.
The Evolv machines themselves intercepted 54 prohibited items, which were mainly knives.
