Penn State football introduces facial recognition entry for Beaver Stadium

Penn State football has launched an "Express Entry" system at Beaver Stadium, allowing fans to use facial recognition to gain admission. To participate, fans must register through their Ticketmaster accounts by uploading a selfie. The service, provided by the platform Wicket, is restricted to individuals 13 years or older. Stadium officials state that photographs used for this process are not stored on the entry devices themselves. This implementation follows similar ticketing technology recently adopted at other venues, including Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Penn State opens its 2026 home schedule against Marshall on September 5.
