CLEVELAND and BOSTON, January 7th, 2021 --
Armored Things, the crowd intelligence software company, and the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA), today announced a new technology collaboration to help ensure the safe return of fans and staff to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
The team will deploy Armored Things’ crowd intelligence solution at the FieldHouse to manage fan density at key entry and gathering points and enable smarter decisions related to staffing, security, and sanitation. The software will also be deployed in the team’s business offices at the venue to help maintain safe spacing in common areas.
Just before the New Year, the Cavaliers and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse received approval from the State of Ohio to host up to 10% of the venue’s seating capacity, or nearly 2,000 fans per game. This is an increase from the State-restricted 300 fan limit to begin the season. The larger capacity for fans will begin Monday, January 11th when the team opens a three-game homestand.
