An athletic lobby touchscreen fans stop to explore
The athletic lobby is where fans wait for tickets, families linger after games and recruits get a first look at your program. A touchscreen there lets visitors look up records, teams and inductees instead of squinting at plaques.

Why it matters
Plaques and record boards run out of room fast
Most athletic lobbies hold decades of trophies, record boards and hall of fame plaques that stopped being updated years ago. New records wait for an engraver, and whole sports never make it onto the wall. A touchscreen gives every team and era a place without taking more wall space.
Ideas for Athletic Lobby Touchscreen
Searchable record boards
Show school records by sport, event and year, and update them the week a record falls.
Hall of fame profiles
Give each inductee a profile with photos, career highlights and induction year, so a name on a plaque becomes a story.
Championship history
List every league, section and state title with the team photo and roster from that season.
Current season rosters
Let younger fans find this year’s players and see where they fit in your program’s history.
Coaches and milestones
Recognize long-serving coaches, 100th wins and retired numbers alongside the athletes.
Every sport, not just the big three
Give swimming, wrestling, bowling and unified sports the same space as football and basketball.
How it works with Hardware
Athletic Lobby Touchscreen, step by step.
Three steps
Pick the spot fans pass
Share a photo of the lobby wall and where crowds gather before games. Rocket compares wall-mounted, kiosk and WonderWall options and can send a free installation mockup.
Prepare mounting and power
Your facilities team confirms the wall, a nearby power outlet and a network connection. Wired Ethernet is recommended; high-speed Wi-Fi can also work.
Connect and open it to fans
Once the screen is mounted, connect it to power and the internet and launch your History Showcase. Staff keep records current in Rocket’s editor.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Athletic Lobby Touchscreen tips
Leave room for a crowd
Fans tend to gather in groups at halftime. Keep the screen out of the ticket line and leave floor space for a few people to stand and browse.
Mount at a reachable height
Place the touch area where students, seated visitors and wheelchair users can reach it, and have facilities confirm accessible placement.
Assign a records owner
Name one person, often the athletic director or an assistant, to update records after each season so the screen never goes stale.
Launch on a home game night
Unveil the display before a big home game or hall of fame night, when the people who care most are already in the building.

Questions
Athletic Lobby Touchscreen questions
Rocket helps you choose a wall-mounted touchscreen, kiosk or WonderWall for the lobby and provides the History Showcase software for records, teams and inductees. You get a free installation mockup of your space, and fans who are not in the building can explore the same content on the web.
It depends on viewing distance, wall space and how many people browse at once. Rocket’s wall-mounted bundles range from 32-inch to 85-inch screens, plus the Rocket Super Wall at 87 inches and up, and a demo helps narrow the choice for your lobby.
Yes. Most schools start with existing plaques, record boards and programs. Rocket offers complimentary data entry and a bulk upload tool, so staff do not have to key every name by hand.
Pricing is quoted for your school’s setup, based on the screen, mount or enclosure and any installation arrangements you choose. The installation mockup is free, and photos or model numbers are welcome but never required.
