70,000 fans. One halftime. Zero dead orders.
Your team app is the front door to ordering, tickets and in-seat delivery, and it goes quiet exactly when the whole bowl reaches for it. Zeva runs inside the app you already ship and turns every fan's phone into part of the venue network, so the halftime spike becomes capacity instead of congestion.
Written for VPs of technology, fan experience and concessions leaders at teams, and innovation teams at leagues.

Where the gameday app fails
Infrastructure is built for average load. Fans order at the peak.
The spike you can't build for
Per-person data at NFL stadiums grew 47% in a single year. Networks sized for average load give way at the exact minute fans order.
Capex can't keep pace
A DAS or Wi-Fi 7 refresh is a multi-year, multi-million project. Demand has moved before it's commissioned.
Mobile ordering that times out
Orders that fail at halftime don't come back. Fans give up, lines form at the stand and per-cap spend falls.
Sponsor moments that miss
Push offers tied to a play land minutes later, or not at all, when the carrier is saturated.
What fans and finance notice
One integration, every venue on the schedule, throughput that rises with the crowd.
Orders that complete at peak
In-seat delivery, express pickup and merch route phone-to-phone to concourse gateways. Throughput rises with the crowd rather than collapsing under it.
An SDK, not a construction project
Zeva ships in your next app release. No antennas, no permits, no off-season install window.
League-wide consistency
One integration in the league app works in every venue on the schedule, home and away.
Gameday intelligence
Concourse density, gate flow and dwell time from the mesh itself, with no cameras to install.
How it fits a gameday stack
Your ordering, ticketing and sponsorship platforms stay in place. Zeva sits underneath them.
- 1
Integrate
Add the Zeva SDK to the team or league app. Fans opt in with the update and relaying starts when they're in the venue.
- 2
Gateway
Gateways with wired backhaul sit at concourse points of sale, suites and box office. The mesh carries traffic to them from every seat.
- 3
Observe
Ops sees mesh health and density on a dashboard. Your ordering vendor sees normal API traffic and nothing else changes.
