A gymnasium is a perfect place to fill with tons of people. The most obvious use of a gym is for athletic events, but they can also be used as general assembly spaces for other events. The problem with a gymnasium is that the space is huge with high walls and long viewing distances. Too often gyms have large bare walls or cluttered collections of non-matching signs and banners. Often any decoration that goes up in a gym is done individually without much thought to the layout of the full space. It seems facilities love to surround their scoreboard with advertisements, hang banners in the top corners behind the fans, and cram undersized championship recognition into one corner that is difficult to read.

Windscreen banners can make a big impact at outdoor fields and athletic facilities. That was exactly what Urbana University of Urbana, OH was looking for when they reached out to Team Fitz Graphics. The Blue Knights of Urbana were interested in pumping up the look of their baseball and softball fields. The two components that were most important to Larry Cox, Athletic Director, were quality design and a well-built product.

Set on a lush and wooded 50.3-acre campus in the hills of Cincinnati, Turpin High School is an ideal place for students to learn. With a strong history of academic achievement, Turpin has been placed in the top 5 high schools in the state of Ohio on the state report card. It has also made Newsweek’s list of top 500 high schools in the nation.

Outdoor athletic facilities present a unique challenge. They often come with large, empty spaces that are difficult to fill on a budget. How do you make a big impact without breaking the bank?

Winning a state championship is a big deal for any high school team. It is the culmination of months of long practices and hard-fought matches. It’s the end cap to a successful season and for many senior athletes, the last time they’ll ever play a sport they love in a sanctioned competition. When your team wins a state championship, celebrate! You—and especially your players—have earned it.
