Evolv Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVLV), a leading security technology company pioneering AI-powered solutions designed to create safer experiences, today announced that Major League Soccer team, St. Louis CITY SC, has entered a multi-year renewal agreement for Evolv Express®, the company’s people-screening solution. Express has been in use at Energizer Park, the team’s 22,423-seat home stadium, since its opening in 2023. Nearly two million people have been screened to date using Evolv Express at CITY SC matches and community events.

The renewal, which maintains Evolv’s status as CITY SC’s “Official Fan Screening Partner,” has updated the Express fleet to all Gen2 hardware, which went live in April. Evolv Express uses advanced sensor technology and AI to detect concealed threats and identify the person and location of the potential threat, while allowing people to move through checkpoints at their natural walking pace. The system is designed to screen visitors effectively while helping minimize congestion and disruption to traffic flow at entry points. The new Gen2 hardware adds enhanced mobility, improved camera resolution, and other features to the equipment fleet. Gen2 has progressively been rolling out across North American sports facilities as existing Evolv customers renew, and new teams and venues join Evolv’s roster.

“Since our inaugural season, our partnership with Evolv has helped enhance our fan experience while not compromising safety,” said Matt Sebek, Chief Experience Officer, St. Louis CITY SC. “It’s our goal to make Energizer Park one of the most innovative and efficient stadiums in MLS. Extending our relationship with Evolv and updating our Express units to the latest hardware helps us continue to deliver an efficient arrival experience for our fans and staff from the moment they enter the stadium.”

“CITY SC is another in a growing list of teams and venues that have elected to renew and extend their Express subscription agreement far ahead of the end of the initial term,” said John Baier, Evolv Vice President of Sports & Entertainment. “We’re grateful for the vote of confidence that these renewals illustrate and appreciate the opportunity to deliver our latest product and enhanced fan arrival experience to hundreds of thousands of St. Louis soccer fans each season.”

The CITY SC renewal is further evidence of Evolv’s strong and stable position in American professional soccer. With other recent additions in MLS, Evolv serves 15+ professional soccer teams. These soccer teams join many other professional sports teams and venues around the world on the Evolv sports and entertainment customer list.
