EXHIBITION DESIGN

3rd FLOOR : IMMERSE YOURSELF IN SPORT

After being inspired by athletes’ stories and learning proper techniques on the floors below, Players will now have a chance to take the field. Visitors will ascend to the 3rd Floor, where they will be greeted by the following:

FAN FRENZY

Fan Frenzy consists of an assortment of sights and sounds designed to create that jolt of adrenaline fans feel upon entering a stadium or arena prior to a big game. This exhilaration, conveyed through a multi-sensory exhibit, may include:

  • Recognition and appreciation for each sport’s diehard fans. From Cheeseheads in Green Bay to college students during March Madness, the passion of sports will engulf fans and instantly put them in a celebratory mood.

  • While visitors are immersed in these pre-game sounds and images, the entranceway to the next exhibit will mimic a players’ tunnel, the area where athletes make last-minute mental preparations prior to taking the field. Visitors are then welcomed into a stadium-like atmosphere with high ceilings, including a Jumbotron and possibly a blimp circling overhead.

IMMERSION THEATRE

In the Immersion Theater, a custom film follows the trajectory of game day – from preparation to culmination – touching on various themes through iconic moments, history-making highlights, original footage and post-game expressions of relief, celebration and uncontrollable emotion.

Upon leaving the film, visitors will be treated to a celebration of several of America’s most popular sports, displayed in an individualized format:
