After Super Bowl LVIII in February, the National Football League (NFL) has announced they plan to rollout a new centralized credential system that utilizes facial recognition, in all 30 stadiums for all 32 teams for the 2024 season.
The system is designed to better verify on-field access and other restricted areas in the stadium, Andrea Schultz, the NFLâs director of strategic security programs, explained during the Stadium Managers Association seminar on February 13th, including the NFLâs effort to flag illegal gambling within the teams, Venues Now reported.
For the 2024 season, the NFL plans to roll out a new centralized credential system league-wide, tied to facial recognition software thatâs more efficient and effectively consolidates the multiple numbers and symbols attached to game badges.
