Philadelphia will soon become the first city to allow fans entry into a stadium with facial recognition technology, according to the MLB.
The new technology, MLB’s Go-Ahead Entry, will launch Monday, Aug. 21 at Citizens Bank Park, home to the Philadelphia Phillies, according to multiple media reports. The program uses a camera that recognizes any fan who has registered as they walk into the ballpark. Once identified, the tickets automatically scan.
“No need to stop or even get a phone out,” MLB officials said in a statement. “Fans can now enjoy the ultimate hands-free, free-flow experience entering the ballpark with their eyes up.”
Enrollment in Go-Ahead Entry is voluntary, the organization said, noting that the cameras will users’ faces to “create a unique numerical token.” The facial scans will be immediately deleted afterwards and only the unique numerical token will be stored and associated with the user’s MLB account, officials said.
According to MLB, the technology is available for those ages 18 or older who can register using the MLB Ballpark app. Once registered, all tickets connected to a user’s account will be automatically available for Go-Ahead Entry.
Those 18 and younger can only enter through the Go-Ahead entry lanes with a registered parent or legal guardian who is consenting on their behalf, according to the organization.

They’ll never recognize my face because I’ll never be going to an MLB game ever again.
Sad but true regarding MLB. The farm team games are pretty good, but without all the pomp, exorbitant pricing and so far, none of the wokeness. But I guess that’ll change too.
When they did those test runs of one type of criminal recognition software (Rekognition”) they found 28 members of Congress matched criminal records.
ACLU lawsuit article:
“The false matches were disproportionately of people of color, including six members of the Congressional Black Caucus, among them civil rights legend Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.).”
“....we built a face database and search tool using 25,000 publicly available arrest photos.”
And there will be maroons that voluntarily put their biometrics on file. They will be some of the ones that deserve the coming dystopia.
Where I work, we “punch in” w/ facial recognition. It used to be spotty in reliability. Lately it’s been fine.
Is that picture of you with or without a mask?
And dare any Christian to compare this with Biblical prophecy because it will be responded to by scoffers claiming “they’ve been saying that for thousands of years.”
“When they did those test runs of one type of criminal recognition software (Rekognition”) they found 28 members of Congress matched criminal records.”

Only 28 and not upwards of 435?
I don’t think it’s very reliable!
I stopped supporting MLB long ago but we should fight back on this totalitarianism.
We are already on file in a hundred different places.
Ha.
Pelosi pulled a gray fedora over most of her face (a blessing to bystanders) and some others wore funny nose glasses from an online joke store.
Creepy.
So I have even less optimism that we will not be sent to concentration camps after the 2024 Dem stolen election.
E-Z pass for sheeple to be herded up and treated like the cattle the Diabolical cabal of elites think they are.
Honest; I first read “fecal recognition”.
Nasty prospect.

Technology is pretty awesome.
Right up until the Mark of the anti-Christ Beast of Revelation chapter 13.
