Climate Pledge Arena is home to the NHL’s Seattle Kraken, WNBA’s Seattle Storm, the PWHL’s Seattle Torrent, and a year-round schedule of concerts, family shows, and other live entertainment events. Since opening in 2021 following the redevelopment of Seattle’s historic arena site, the venue has become recognized not only for its fan experience and event programming, but also as the world’s first Zero Carbon Certified arena. Climate Pledge Arena is owned by One Roof Sports & Entertainment and operated by Oak View Group (OVG).
“At Climate Pledge Arena, we’re constantly looking for ways to enhance both security and the overall guest experience,” said Jim Dermody, Director of Security at Climate Pledge Arena. “After evaluating a number of screening solutions available, we selected Evolv Express because it aligns with our operational goals and our commitment to providing an efficient and welcoming arrival experience for fans, artists, athletes, and staff. Evolv’s approach closely matches our mission of delivering a safer and world-class experience for every guest. Throughout the evaluation process, Evolv’s technology demonstrated the performance and operational efficiency we were looking for in a long-term security solution.”
“As we continue expanding across professional hockey, Evolv is expected to be deployed at a significant number of NHL teams’ venues during the upcoming season, reflecting the growing adoption of modern security screening technology,” said John Baier, Vice President of Sports & Entertainment at Evolv Technology. “Climate Pledge Arena’s focus on innovation, operational excellence, and guest experience mirrors the values that drive our work, and we’re excited to help them welcome millions of visitors each year, while setting new standards for innovation and leadership across the industry.”
