Inflatable Football Tunnel Fires Up Fans for the East Central Hornets

East Central Hornets Buzz the Field through Their Inflatable Football Tunnel

Even the youngest sports fans and athletes (kindergarten – sixth grade) understand the exhilaration of exploding onto the field through an inflatable football tunnel.

This sense of school pride is part of the reason the East Central Independent School District enlisted the help of Landmark Creations to develop their 16.5-foot high sports tunnel.

Just ask Debbie Walker, Director of Executive Services about the attraction and reaction of the kids. “We have a team of Bleacher Creatures which consists of students in grades K-6. This group runs onto the field at all home games prior to the football team. [Our inflatable football tunnel] has definitely increased the number of students participating in our Bleacher Creatures. The young students think running through the helmet and tunnel is just AWESOME!”

The fans, no doubt, get quite a kick out of it, too. Sports tunnels have long added to the excitement that surrounds school sports. Shaped like a football helmet and decked out in school colors, these inflatable tunnels drive energy levels through the roof in a way no paper banner could hope to.

Debbie's history with Landmark is what brought her back a second time. "We first purchased our tunnel from Landmark 5 years ago and have had great success with it. Absolutely no problems at all. A private donor wanted us to add the inflatable helmet and of course, I thought of Landmark. Great Prompt Service - Great Product - Great Staff!!"
