GEODIS Park Selects Allied Universal for Security and Event Services

Allied Universal will manage venue access, bag checks, and field security for Nashville Soccer Club’s stadium, which is set to host LA28 Olympic matches.

GEODIS Park, home to the Nashville Soccer Club, has selected Allied Universal as its preferred provider for event staffing and security services.

Under the new agreement, the security firm’s event services division will manage critical high-traffic operations, including venue access control, gate monitoring, and bag checks. The team will also be responsible for field access security during Major League Soccer (MLS) matches, concerts, and private functions.

The partnership comes as the Nashville-based sports and entertainment complex prepares for an increased global profile. GEODIS Park was recently designated as one of six U.S. venues selected to host soccer matches for the LA28 Olympic Games.

"Allied Universal is pleased to bring our decades of expertise in sports and entertainment staffing and security services to support GEODIS Park and the Nashville community it serves," said Ty Richmond, president of Allied Universal Event Services.

The transition to a specialized event services provider is intended to allow the venue to focus on large-scale event promotion and operations while maintaining standardized crowd management protocols.
