Stadium Signage, Why is it important?
Signage is a prominent feature for all sports stadiums. They can be used to enforce team branding, navigate fans or just add an element of decoration to an arena. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, our signage is strong, durable and weatherproof offering both temporary and permanent solutions.
There are countless different ways that stadium signage can be implemented. Below are a few common uses for stadium signage.
Turnstile and Seating Blocks
Turnstiles and seating blocks are a crucial aspect of every stadium. These signs must provide clear directions, gate numbers, and seating requirements, helping to minimise confusion and congestion as fans enter the stadium.
Stadium signage must be visible and readable from a distance, especially in outdoor or low-light conditions. Effective signage enhances the overall fan experience by facilitating easier access, reducing wait times, and maintaining safety and order during peak times.
Your print will have to be suitable for outdoor use so durable materials must be used to ensure that the signs do not fade or deteriorate in quality. Our Inks are UV treated to allow for maximum durability. The use of Dibond and Foamex will be ideal for weathering a cold and rainy night in Stoke.
Wayfinding and Navigation
Navigational signage for sports stadiums is essential for guiding fans efficiently and safely to their seats and exits. These signs display directional arrows, section numbers, and other important information, strategically placed throughout the venue for maximum visibility.
Effective wayfinding and navigational signage not only enhances the fan experience by reducing confusion but also ensures safety by providing clear paths and instructions to help fans get to their seats before kick-off.
Wayfinding signage will be a permanent fixture at any stadium, so will need to be durable and withstanding against diverse weather. They use of materials such as Vinyl, PVC banner and Foamex hold these qualities whilst also allowing for high print quality.
Hanging Signs
In crowded locations it can be difficult to see signs on the wall. Hanging signs are a great solution to combat these issues. They can be hung above the crowds from the ceiling, making them easily seen with no issues. These signs will have to be big enough to read whilst being lightweight, so they don’t fall from the ceiling. Foamex and Foamcore boards is are fantastic options for this.
Catering Kiosks
The half-time whistle will signal the catering rush as fans queue up for refreshments. Signs will guide guests to food kiosks, display menus and indicate dietary options or restrictions.
Using durable and high-quality materials, the signs should be easy to read and visually appealing, matching the stadiums theme. Clear signage reduces confusion and enhances the overall fan experience. Effective signage in catering settings also contributes to less traffic and reduced crowding.
Vinyl's
Vinyl can be used to enhance the visual appearance and atmosphere of a stadium. Customisable to fit any space from walls, windows and floors, vinyl’s can be used to showcase team branding, colours and slogans, creating an immersive environment for fans.
High-quality and durable polymetric vinyl can withstand various weather conditions and heavy foot traffic, ensuring long-lasting vibrancy.
Press Backdrops
Press backdrops are ever present in pre- and post-match interviews and provide an opportunity to showcase team branding and sponsorships. These boards can be both fixed and portable enabling you to promote sponsors wherever you please. These boards will have to have a very high print quality as well as being durable and long lasting.
Advertising Boards
Sponsors will want their company branding displayed round the perimeter of the pitch. A good way to do this is through advertising boards. These Advertising boards will have to be long lasting and strong, able to withstand adverse weather conditions and any potential collisions with the ball or players. Often Foamex or Dibond used for these boards.
