Opening Day at Wrigley Field is just eight days away, and if you are one of the approximately 8,200 fans who has a ticket for the Cubs’ first 2021 game against the Pirates, you will see new technology at the ballpark, particularly for entry.
The magnetometers that are going to be used at Wrigley are the same ones the team is now using at Sloan Park in Mesa, pictured above.
They’re made by a company called Evolv Technologies, headquartered in Massachusetts. The devices are set to find larger pieces of metal such as weapons; they won’t be set off by keys or phones, so you can keep those in your pockets while going through them.
