The Chicago Cubs' Wrigley Field ballpark is working to update its security measures. The venue will use Genetec to secure the ballpark, nearby venues, parking lots and the front office. The security modernization effort followed a multi-year restoration of the 100+ -year-old ballpark to preserve historic features while modernizing amenities. The project also expanded its footprint and the surrounding campus.
As the existing security systems had been installed independently, working with multiple systems slowed the security team’s investigations and response times considerably. Additionally, the aged storage server infrastructure limited the organization’s ability to remain compliant with Department of Homeland Safety requirements around video retention.
