Clear Expands Streamlined Security Checks To Three Additional MLB Parks

Clear, the privatized gate security company that competes with TSA Preu2713, is expanding its footprint to three new Major League Baseball parks for the 2018 season and working with lawmakers in Washington State to digitize IDs for potential contactless in-stadium alcohol ordering.

The Clear platform, which requires a one-time sign-up and then uses biometrics to identify people and expedite security checks, will be added to the Atlanta Braves’ SunTrust Park, Oakland Athletics’ Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, and the Seattle Mariners’ Safeco Field.

These new arenas bring Clear’s tally of professional sports teams to 11. It previously announced partnerships with the New York Yankees’ Yankees Stadium, NY Mets’ Citi Field, Colorado Rockies’ Coors Field, Miami Marlins’ Marlins Park, San Francisco Giants’ AT&T Park, Detroit Tigers’ Comerica Park, and a few other National Basketball League and Major League Soccer teams.
