The Tampa Sports Authority, which operates Raymond James, will implement over 40 modifications, including contactless backgrounds and thermal imaging upon entering the stadium.

The plan is to have all upgrades rolled out in three phases. Phase three is scheduled to be completed by Oct. 31, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Phase one will include the implementation of a public address system used in parking lots, touchscreen ticket scanners for entry gates, temperature checks and portable wash stations and public restrooms retrofitted with touch-free toilets.

The modification of the press box and the building of temporary booths within the stadium will come in phase two.

Phase three will include the modification of entry gates, the east and west clubs and media checkpoints, which will now include canopies.

I read this story a few days ago and I was a bit surprised that funds were allocated in this manner

Personally, I would have preferred this money be used elsewhere, rather than the TSA and a stadium that may not see use until well into 2021 (when there may be a cure)
