Stadiums and Events

Helping stadiums deliver safer, smoother entry

Stadiums are built for big moments. Match days. Concerts. Finals. Festivals. Sell-out events.

Thousands of people arrive within a short space of time. Bags need checking. Queues build quickly. Security teams need to make fast, confident decisions.

Smiths Detection helps stadiums and event venues screen people and belongings more effectively, so visitors can enter safely and the event can keep moving.

Our solutions support a wide range of live-event environments, from sports stadiums and arenas to concert venues, exhibition spaces and temporary event locations.

Built for live event pressure

Stadium security has to work when demand is at its highest. Before kick-off. Before the headline act. During peak arrival periods. Across multiple gates and access points. Our screening solutions help teams detect weapons, explosives and other prohibited items before they enter the venue, without turning entry into a bottleneck.

No two venues operate in exactly the same way. A football stadium has different pressures from a concert arena. A festival site has different challenges from a convention centre. Talk to Smiths Detection about screening solutions designed around your venue, your operations and your visitor flow.
