Gym and athletic lobby screens for game nights and every day
The athletic lobby sees students every day and hundreds of fans on game nights. A screen there can show the week’s schedule, celebrate teams beyond the varsity roster and greet visiting fans with what they need to know.

Why it matters
Game nights bring crowds and old posters
Fans walk into the gym past a schedule printed in August and a banner from three seasons ago. Visiting families do not know where to sit or where concessions are. Teams outside the big three rarely get any space at all.

Gym and Athletic Lobby Screens, step by step.
Three steps
Keep the everyday loop
Schedules and a records folder run all season with no end date.

Make a graphic if you need one
Design a matchup graphic in Rocket Graphics, free for schools, then download it and drop it onto the gym screen’s timeline.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.
