NFL implements new facial recognition for working staff in stadiums

NFL implements facial authentication in stadiums

The NFL will be implementing facial recognition in all stadiums starting this upcoming football season.

WASHINGTON - This upcoming season, the NFL will be rolling out new facial recognition that will be used for individuals with working credentials and other stadium staff, according to NFL officials.

The new program was tested last season in six stadiums and will not impact fans.

FOX 4 reports the fan cam video is nothing new. The Cowboys and other sports franchises allow fans to go online, pick a game date and locate and tag themselves. Fans can be clearly spotted with cameras that allow for a clear zoom-in image.
