SEATTLE \u2014 Seahawks continue to count down for Saturday\u2019s divisional round playoff game at Lumen Field against the 49ers. <\/p>\n
Those fans better be ready to have their picture taken since there are cameras in place to capture their reactions in big moments. <\/p>\n
Momento, the company that operates the cameras, installed them at Lumen Field in 2023. They also recently put cameras at T-Mobile Park. <\/p>\n
CEO Austin Fletcher says they\u2019ve seen a lot of downloads from the past year in Seattle sports, resulting in more than 180,000 photo downloads from Mariners games and more than 50,000 from Seahawks games.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing able to not have to have your phone out and record yourself and have it very easily accessible is really a part that we seen fans just jump at,\u201d Fletcher said.<\/p>\n
Fletcher says fans can download photos taken by these cameras for free via Momento or directly through the teams, a move that has garnered significant interest as reflected in the download statistics.<\/p>\n
Fans who spoke with KIRO 7 said they appreciate the concept of capturing their reactions during games. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, as a big sports fan, I love seeing the fan reaction more than anything,\u201d said Mark Quiroz, a content creator and sports fan.<\/p>\n
However, some fans have raised privacy concerns about how their likenesses are used.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I guess it is what they do with the photos. I think a lot of people in this day in age are worried about their personal likeness being put into AI engines when it\u2019s that specific close-up,\u201d Riley, a sports fan, commented. <\/p>\n
In response to such concerns, Fletcher emphasized the importance of privacy. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that is one of the things we are very conscious of and making sure that we work with the teams, but also limiting the amount of times that a user can go into the platform and look at different seats,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Fletcher also mentioned that fans have an option to opt-out if they do not want their photo taken. <\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, we\u2019ve got an opt-out clause. For whatever reason you don\u2019t want to be or your seat to be accessed, you can file an opt-out request and our team will jump in and take care of that and basically not allow that seat to be searched by fans,\u201d Fletcher clarified.<\/p>\n
The primary objective for Momento is to provide fans with memorable moments. <\/p>\n
\u201cThose are moments people want to relive for the rest of their life,\u201d Fletcher said. <\/p>\n
