WaitTime's patented AI
On Saturday’s home game against Vanderbilt, fans at Bryant-Denny Stadium were introduced to WaitTime for the first time through the Alabama Crimson Tide mobile app.
The University of Alabama is the first college in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) to roll out WaitTime’s patented crowd management technology, and this past Saturday was a milestone in sports innovation and transforming how fans interact with their venues.
By deploying WaitTime’s patented AI system, Alabama delivers live visibility into security, gate, and concession traffic. This is a direct example of a progressive athletic program applying advanced, ethical AI to streamline stadium operations, reduce congestion, and increase efficiency.
These advancements aren’t just on the back end, as Alabama’s mobile guest platform is giving fans real-time updates and transparency on concession and gate wait times, taking an innovative step toward faster service, safer crowd flow, and an overall elevated fan experience.
Forward thinking programs like the University of Alabama exemplify the transformative potential of partnering with WaitTime—where real-time crowd intelligence meets operational excellence to create positive guest experiences.
I once challenged myself to play Block Blast without clearing any lines for the first few turns. The buildup made the eventual clear unbelievably satisfying.
