National Women’s Soccer League team Kansas City Current announced it will use Xtract One’s SmartGateway walk-through security scanning system at its new home, CPKC Stadium, when the venue opens next year.
In a press release the team and company announced it would use Xtract One’s weapon detection technology solutions at the new 11,500-seat venue, the first specifically built for a women’s professional team. Like other new walk-through security scanning systems, Xtract One’s SmartGateway is designed to speed up entry when compared to other technologies like metal detectors, which typically involve people stopping to divest themselves of metallic and other objects.
“KC Current is all about elevating the community and inspiring bold ambition. We’re constantly pushing to raise the bar for our players, our fans, and our community,” said Kansas City Current Vice President of Facility Development, Scott Jenkins, in a prepared statement. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Xtract One to set new standards in fan safety and enjoyment, elevating our game day experience to new heights in a new stadium.”
“We’re proud to lead the way in stadium security for KC Current as they usher in this new era of community experience at CPKC Stadium,” said Peter Evans, CEO of Xtract One, in a prepared statement. “Our goal is to make the CPKC Stadium experience enjoyable, secure, and memorable for all those who step through its gates.”
