As the roar of the crowd builds and anticipation for the biggest game of the year reaches a fever pitch, another team works tirelessly behind the scenes. This team isn’t on the field; they are the security professionals tasked with ensuring the safety of every fan, athlete, and staff member. With massive events like the Super Bowl on the horizon, the focus on comprehensive security measures at stadiums and arenas has never been more critical. Every entry point represents a potential vulnerability that demands a sophisticated and reliable screening solution. This is where modern technology steps in to redefine the security playbook.
The Big Game Security Checklist
When planning security for a stadium or arena, especially for high-profile events like the Super Bowl, organizers need every advantage. Here’s a streamlined checklist covering practical steps— and how ISS’ suite of AI-powered solutions can help create a safe experience for all.
1. Bolster Vehicle Entry Screening
The logistical challenge of securing a major sporting venue is immense. Numerous vehicles, from team buses to delivery trucks and broadcast vans, require thorough inspection without creating disruptive bottlenecks. Slow, manual vehicle checks create bottlenecks and can miss hidden threats.Solutions like the SecurOS® UVSS (Under Vehicle Surveillance System) from ISS automates thorough undercarriage scanning, links each inspection to license plate and driver records, and enables secure, efficient vehicle entry.
2. Automate Alerts for Unusual Activity with AI
Incidents of fighting and other aggressive behaviors can escalate quickly in crowded areas. AI-driven fighting detection and other behavior analytics continuously monitor for hostile behavior, prompting instant alerts so security teams can intervene before situations get out of control.
3. Ensure Safety with Fallen Person Detection
Medical emergencies and falls often go unnoticed in the excitement of an event. Fallen person detection technology scans seating, aisles, and exits for signs of accidents, giving early alerts that enable swift medical response.
4. Integrate LPR and Parking Analytics
Managing authorized vehicle access and efficient parking during sellout events is a logistical headache. License plate recognition (LPR) and parking analytics streamline approved vehicle entry, track lot occupancy, and support smooth traffic flow for both VIPs and general attendees.
5. Integrate Disparate Systems
Disconnected security systems slow down incident response and complicate monitoring. Platforms like SecurOS® from ISS that unify vehicle inspection, behavior analytics, access management, video surveillance, and more into a single platform ensures end-to-end situational awareness.
With proactive AI analytics in place, venue operators stay a step ahead of incidents, safeguard both fans and property, and ensure smooth event operations. From undercarriage scans to in-crowd behavior monitoring, ISS solutions provide comprehensive security so you can focus on what matters most: the fan experience.
