Amplify your school’s brand for fans, athletes and the community

{Sponsored} When it came time to put the finishing touches on Petersen Hotel Field at Louisville Slugger Sports Complex in Peoria, Illinois, the Bradley University athletic department looked to BigSigns.com’s custom-designed Dura-Mesh windscreens to give the stadium an unmistakably Bradley feel.

Bradley’s athletic department knew it could trust BigSigns.com with the job because the company had delivered for Bradley on several other occasions since 2010, including windscreens at Laura Bradley Park — the softball team’s previous home field — and at Shea Stadium, the university’s soccer facility.

As at Laura Bradley Park and Shea Stadium, BigSigns.com windscreens line the chain-link fence at Petersen Hotel Field — inside the stadium and out — visually cementing the university’s brand in the eyes of not only players and fans, but of anyone who drives or walks past the complex.

“All three of the facilities offer great brand exposure, not only for the fans in venue during our home competitions, but all three venues are located along roadways that provide a great deal of visual exposure for the university on a daily basis,” said Bobby Parker, the Associate A.D. for Communications and Operations at Bradley.

“The windscreens at all three venues are visually attractive and they have provided great opportunities to showcase the tradition and history of both our soccer and softball programs,” Parker added.

BigSigns.com’s windscreens come in a variety of sizes and colors, are UV protected and very difficult to rip. The Dura-Screen 70 WindScreen — BigSigns.com’s most popular windscreen — is stronger than most and allows for 30 percent wind pass-through.

BigSigns.com can go any number of design routes when creating windscreens. Bradley, for example, opted to highlight past and current student-athletes, championship trophies and rings and, of course, school colors and logos with its recent projects.

Bradley not only utilizes BigSigns.com’s windscreens to improve the aesthetics of its outdoor sports venues, the university also uses BigSigns.com’s oversized graphics to do the same at some of its indoor sports facilities as well, including press conference areas, practice facilities and the Bradley Athletics Hall of Fame.

“(BigSigns.com’s) sales team is always responsive, willing to work within our budget restraints and flexible in the development of the design concepts,” Parker said. “The online approval process also is very simple.”
