Wishing a Happy Opening Day to our MLB clients.

Among the crowd-flow management protocols Fortress is recommending to its clients is a color-coded traffic light system of boxes or lanes in various floor areas to hold fans in a safe space and then release them through security and ticket scanning one group at a time. The system would include Resolution Zones, where visitors with ticketing issues could be directed, and Clean Zones, where visitors who consider themselves vulnerable because of their age or health can access the venue.

In an era of social distancing, fans will encounter a different experience once they are allowed back into stadiums and arenas. “Fans want that experience to be top-notch, period. That’s why teams are thinking about this,” said Britton Stackhouse Miller, senior vice president at Fortress U.S., a developer of engagement and integration systems with clients in European soccer, baseball, the NBA, NFL and NHL.

The Miami Heat recently shared a great video of the Fortress Pods which are used to access all Miami Heat games and events at the American Airlines Arena.

Super Bowl 54 kept the city of Miami and Fortress busy! We loved seeing fans using our access systems all over town – From Opening Night at Marlins Park, to the Bud Light Music Fest at the American Airlines Arena – Home of the Miami Heat. Thanks again to all our clients and partners involved in these projects.

Wishing all our clients, partners and friends a joyous holiday season and a prosperous new year!

We were delighted to host execs from more than 20 teams & venues in the US and UK as well as our partners from Barclays in London last week. Great conversations about the latest in tech, partnerships, client programs, and all that is to come in 2020. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this event possible. We are proud to be in business with these industry game changers, and are so excited about the future.

The Fortress pods are ready for your next visit at Orlando’s Amway Center, home of our new NBA client – The Orlando Magic.

Our latest Access Control project: Hungary’s National Stadium (a host for the 2020 Euros), which was rebuilt, and officially open again as of this last Friday. Thanks and congrats to our partners at Honeywell on another successful joint venture.

Congratulations to our client the Washington Nationals on their thrilling run and first ever World Series win!
