The Many Uses For Inflatable Tunnels

By Myrtle Cash


For the last few years we have all seen the inflatable tunnels used by mostly American football teams. They are usually places right by the stadium tunnel exits and situated with fog and smoke machines and for night games, sometimes laser machines as well. The players then exit the tunnel onto the field of play and the crowd goes wild.

Before these tunnels were used the players would exit the stadium tunnels without too much fanfare. While the crowd still cheered, they still loved to root for their team it just was not the same. Watching the players that you root for and admire come out of a big Lions head or whatever mascot the team uses is something special.

We have all seen players run through them to enter the field of play. They run through the tunnel and past the smoke and lasers and into the field. Once they are out on the field the fans go wild and the tunnel is being prepared to be taken down. Fast and easy the tunnels make their appearance and then go away. But they are not just used for the games.

No pizazz. Ever since teams have started to use these inflatable tunnels everything has changed. Fans get riled up before anything even happens on the field. It can and has been said that these tunnels are the ultimate expression of the teams pride. The players have even taken to coming up with their own ways of exiting these giants.

That is exactly what the marketing executives that work for the teams want. They want to use the famous players on the teams to sell more tickets and merchandise. They need a big entrance when doing these events to get the most bang for their buck. The tunnels give them exactly what they are looking for. They are multifaceted tools.

They are used for a variety of things from entering and exiting the fields to public marketing events. The amount of publicity they can get out of one far exceeds what they pay for them So in other words they get more than their moneys worth for them. When they add smoke and laser machines to them the exit of the players is even more exiting.

Anything that can be done to add more flair and showmanship to professional sports is always worth trying. This is such a simple way to do that and it does not take away from the game in any way. The best part of this is maybe the logistics of it all. They are inflatable, so once they are done being used it is a simple deflation and pack job.

That is exactly what the inflatable tunnels give to the fans. They give them the flair and the showmanship that the players all have inside them. When players are coming through one of those tunnels it makes them feel like they are truly part of the team and what the team mascot stand for. You can tell because they enter the field with excitement themselves.
