Proud to be working with Manchester City Football Club all these years.

It was another successful Kentucky Derby for the Fortress team, and it was bigger than ever. At this year’s event – As well as the five others in the week leading up to it – We managed primary access control, secondary access control for VIPs/Clubs, and parking scanning. We used a variety of devices ranging from pods to handhelds, including custom new secondary devices for Churchill Downs. More than 150,000 fans were in attendance to see Mage win the race at the annual 149th event!

It was a three-night spectacle at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Over 200 Fortress handhelds let in more than 200,000 fans to Taylor Swift’s sold-out Eras Tour shows, where we managed both Primary and Secondary Access Control for VIP fans with floor access and early entry. Big thanks to our client the Dallas Cowboys for entrusting us with these massive events!

Our pods now welcome fans of the Nashville Predators to Bridgestone Arena – We’re excited to provide a new client and NHL team with the latest in Fortress technology.

Our latest project with Sporting Kansas City – The new loyalty program “Sporting Blue Rewards” – Was featured in Sports Business Journal.

“Fortress, which has developed rewards programs for teams in the NFL, NHL, MLS and MLB, helped Sporting KC assemble its fan loyalty program by tying together disparate technologies. Fans’ mobile wallet, the loyalty platform and the ticketing platform all reside within Sporting KC’s app, and the third-party vendors all communicate with each other, meaning loyalty program tasks and rewards are no longer confined to specific lines of business.”

This past weekend Austin FC kicked off the club’s third MLS Season at Q2 Stadium – Primary and Secondary Access Control was provided by Fortress.

Super Bowl LVII has officially wrapped! A big thanks to the NFL for entrusting us again with managing Access Control for all staff, media and security entering the stadium and field using our latest technologies, as well as utilizing Facial Recognition for fast identification at the accreditation centers, field and tents. Another big thank you to the Fortress team, who put in months of prep work and weeks on the ground to make sure all went smoothly during Game Week and Game Day. It was great to have this year’s event hosted at a client’s venue. Congrats to the Kansas City Chiefs on another Super Bowl win!

The 2023 NHL All-Star Weekend was recently hosted by our client, the Florida Panthers – Primary Access Control was provided by Fortress.

Thanks for having us INTIX 2023! It was great seeing so many familiar faces in Seattle, and what an amazing turnout for our panel discussion on fan engagement technology drivers with fellow panelists from the Phoenix Suns, SoFi Stadium and the Mariners.
