Xtract One patron screening solution selected by Memphis stadium

Toronto-based Xtract One Technologies announced its SmartGateway patron screening solution was selected by Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, a 58,000-capacity stadium in Memphis, Tennessee, to secure entrances for its live events.

The property is owned by the City of Memphis and is managed by global sports and entertainment company Oak View Group, which announced a strategic partnership with Xtract One in October 2022.

“As we began preparations for the start of the USFL season, we wanted to optimize our security screening technology,” Thomas Carrier, Oak View Group’s General Manager at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, said in a statement. “At the stadium and across Oak View Group, we prioritize fan safety, while simultaneously leveraging innovation to enhance the fan experience. The kickoff of the new USFL season was a logical starting point to introduce Xtract One’s SmartGateway screening solutions. It is one of many prevention strategies coming to the venue for the safety and security of fans, teams, talent and staff, which we will continue using throughout the year, including during Memphis Tigers games and for the Southern Heritage Classic and AutoZone Liberty Bowl.”

The SmartGateway system was designed for large, ticketed venues to enable high throughput, but with customizability based on the customer’s individual needs and security requirements.

Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium will deploy SmartGateways in two phases. Phase one, beginning April 15, will leverage SmartGateways for games of the Memphis Showboats (USFL).
