Custom Inflatable Tunnel Gets Fans, Parents & Players Excited

Inflatable Football Tunnel Helps Christian Academy of Knoxville Generate Excitement

The key word here is "excitement." It kept coming up all during the process of collecting information from the school. What were their primary goals for the new football tunnel?

"Create excitement for the fans." "Create excitement for the players." "Increase excitement with the students and impress visitors." The best way we've found thus far to instill this level of - well - excitement is with a custom inflatable tunnel.

When talking with Mike Maddux, Sports Marketing Coordinator, you can clearly see that these (and other) goals were accomplished using their new football tunnel. Mike really tells it best, so I'll step aside and let him explain.

"We didn't want just another generic football helmet inflatable. We wanted a unique design that was larger and more detailed than any of the other schools we had seen with inflatable [tunnels]. When I saw the design I was very excited, and when I saw the curtain with the glaring eyes, that just set it apart. The [football tunnel] is large enough that our team huddles inside of it, does a very cool pre-game chant, and then bursts out of the curtain with smoke billowing every where. It's really cool and we had so many comments about it from not only our fans, but the opposing team as well. Our football team was 11-2 on the season, but we were UNDEFEATED in the inflatable tunnel wars during pre-game warm ups. Ha!"

Couldn't have said it better myself.
