NEW SECURITY TECHNOLOGY
As part of the MCC’s ongoing commitment to providing the safest possible environment for fans, the MCG has introduced Evolv touchless security screening technology at all gates on event days. This state-of-the-art system allows patrons to simply pass through the security gates without needing to remove personal items from their bags.
As patrons pass through the gates, the technology detects any prohibited items and comes up on a small screen that is monitored by security. If an item is flagged, security will do a secondary search of the patron’s bag or with a hand wand.
