Best Practices for Creating an Interactive Presentation for College Football Programs
INTRODUCTION
In the world of college football, the atmosphere extends far beyond the field. From packed stadiums to iconic campus landmarks, every touchpoint is a chance to engage fans, inspire recruits, and honor athletic legacies. That’s where interactive presentations come into play—dynamic digital displays designed to celebrate the heart and history of a team in ways that static signage simply can’t.
At Norvision, we specialize in creating customized, interactive displays that go beyond digital signage. Whether in a stadium concourse, athletic hall of fame, or student union, these immersive experiences are a powerful way to elevate your program. Below are the best practices we recommend when building an interactive presentation for a college football team:
IN THIS ISSUE
Highlight Athlete Stories – Showcase bios, photos, and personal journeys.
Celebrate Historic Moments – Include championship wins, records, and iconic plays.
Real-Time Roster Integration – Keep player stats and info up-to-date automatically.
Recruiting & Alumni Profiles – Feature past athletes who turned pro or became notable alumni.
Design for Accessibility – Use intuitive navigation and ADA-compliant features.
Integrate Social Media & Live Feeds – Energize displays with real-time content and fan interaction.
Strategic Placement – Install displays in high-traffic areas like locker rooms and concourses.
Include Donor Recognition – Celebrate key contributors with dynamic donor modules.
Schedule Regular Updates – Keep content fresh with seasonal and milestone refreshes.
Embody Your Team’s Culture – Add custom elements like mascots, fight songs, or iconic moments.
1. Highlight Athlete Stories with Visual Depth
Student-athlete bios are more than stats—they’re stories. Include high-quality photos, highlight reels, major accomplishments, academic achievements, and personal quotes. Let fans and recruits connect with the people behind the jersey.
Include: Hometown, major, GPA (optional), position, and a personal journey highlight.
Use: Video interviews and audio snippets for deeper immersion.
2. Celebrate Historic Moments and Records
Your football team’s legacy deserves center stage. Create a timeline of key milestones: bowl victories, championships, All-American athletes, and Hall of Famers.
Interactive feature: A digital trophy case or “record wall” that responds to touch and displays full stories behind each achievement.
3. Create a Real-Time Roster View
Build an interactive depth chart or team roster. Include up-to-date images, stats, and player highlights that auto-update each season.
Optional: Sync with your athletic department’s API to automatically refresh stats and rosters.
4. Incorporate Recruiting & Alumni Impact
Use your display as a recruiting tool. Include past players who went pro, major donors who were athletes, or notable alumni.
Feature: “Where Are They Now?” profiles for former players.
Benefit: Builds pride, credibility, and connection for both recruits and fans.
5. Design for Accessibility and Scalability
Ensure your interface is simple, responsive, and ADA-compliant. Use large touch zones, easy-to-read fonts, and accommodate future content additions.
Best practice: Use icon-based navigation alongside text for an intuitive user journey.
6. Integrate Social Media and Live Content
Bring energy with real-time feeds from social platforms, live stats during game days, or Twitter/X posts from players and fans.
Bonus: Include QR codes or “Share” features so fans can post content directly from the display.
7. Location Matters
Think strategically about placement. High-traffic areas like stadium entrances, training facilities, and student centers maximize exposure and engagement.
Pro tip: Include seating or viewing space nearby to encourage fans to linger and interact longer.

9. Keep It Fresh
Schedule seasonal updates to content—like senior send-offs, season previews, and coach spotlights. Your interactive display should grow with your program.
10. Tell Your Unique Story
Most importantly: make it your own. Every college football team has a distinct culture. Whether it’s a legendary rivalry, a mascot tradition, or the sound of your fight song—incorporate it into the experience.
