Posted: Thu Aug 24, 2023 12:18 pm
Major League Baseball has announced that it is launching \"Go-Ahead Entry,\" which would allow registered fans to walk through ballpark gates without stopping.
The pilot program of Go-Ahead Entry will be implemented in conjunction with the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Under the new facial recognition program, fans will be able to register for free with a selfie on the MLB Ballpark app, which will create a \"unique numerical code\" and link with the user\'s tickets.
When registered fans come to the game, they will use a special entry lane, and a camera will scan their faces to match them with their tickets.
