Stadium digital signage: every hospitality screen, ready for matchday

The suite menu changes on Saturday morning. Kick-off moves. Sponsors ask what their screen shows. Change every screen in the ground from one place.

Free on one screen, with no card. Then from £10 per TV a month, ex VAT. No contract.

The problem

Matchday changes faster than a printed sign

Matchday messages

Kick-off moves and every host must tell every table

A late change reaches the suites one host at a time. Some guests hear it, and some do not.

Sponsor slots

Sponsors paid for a screen

Nobody is sure what that screen shows today, or how often their message plays.

Hospitality menus

The menu is printed on Friday

The kitchen changes a dish on Saturday morning. The printed card in the suite is now wrong.

Non-matchdays

The ground is quiet between matches

Conferences, dinners and open days use the same rooms. The screens still show last Saturday's match.

Board previews

Live sample Boards for the ground

These are working Boards. Type in your own menu, events and sponsors, in your club colours.

How it works at one ground

One account for every screen in the ground

Hospitality

Suite menus changed from the kitchen

Keep each menu in NowBoard. A chef or a host changes a dish or a price from a phone, and the suite screen shows it.

For example, you could change the main course at 11:00 and have every suite screen show it before guests arrive.

Matchday timing

One change, every screen

Point the screens in each area at one Channel. Change the Board once, and every screen that plays that Channel shows the change.

For example, you could update the kick-off time on the matchday Board, and the reception and suite screens show the new time.

Sponsors

Sponsor messages through Ad Space

Turn on Ad Space and choose which screens show sponsor slots. A sponsor books on your own booking page. You approve the advert, and they get a link to pay.

For example, you could sell slots on the concourse bar screens and keep the suites for your own Boards.

Non-matchday events

The same screens for conferences and dinners

Make one Playlist for matchdays and one for event days. On Professional, you can schedule a Playlist for a set date and time. It starts and ends on its own.

For example, you could load a conference programme as Events, and the Board shows only that day's sessions.

Fixtures

Fixtures and results, typed in

Your team types in fixtures and results from a phone. NowBoard does not connect to live match data.

Urgent messages

One message on every screen at once

On Professional, a takeover puts one Board on every screen, or on the screens you choose. An emergency alert stops the usual content and shows an urgent message.

Clubs with more than one venue

A ground, a training ground, or several venues

Group the screens at each venue into a Site. Send club news to every Site, or a local notice to one. Sites need Starter or above.

On Professional, a takeover or an emergency alert can go to one Site or to every Site. You end it when it is over.

For example, you could show the same sponsor messages at the ground and the training ground, and a different menu at each.

Clubs with many screens can book a 30 minute demo to plan the roll-out.

Costs

What it costs

You pay per TV, per month, with no setup fee and no annual contract. Starter is £10 per TV per month ex VAT, and Professional is £20 per TV per month ex VAT.

For example, 15 screens on Professional cost £300 a month ex VAT. Enterprise adds volume pricing for large estates.

NowBoard works with any screen that has an HDMI port. Plug a NowBoard Player into the screen. It costs £149 ex VAT, UK only.

The Free plan runs one TV with up to 5 Boards, with no card and no expiry. See pricing for every plan.

Try Ad Spaces on every plan.

FAQ

Common questions about stadium digital signage

We have many screens at one ground. Can one person run them?

Yes. One account holds every screen. Point screens at the same Channel to show the same Boards, or give each area its own Channel.

How do sponsors get on the screens?

Through Ad Space. A sponsor books on your booking page, you approve each advert, and they pay by card. You choose which screens show adverts.

Does it show live scores?

No. Your team types in fixtures, line-ups and results. NowBoard does not connect to match data.

Do we need new screens?

No. Plug a NowBoard Player into the HDMI port of a TV you already have.

Can we start with one screen?

Yes. Start free on one hospitality screen. Then add screens month to month, with no minimum contract.

Ready for the next matchday

Start free on one hospitality screen. Clubs with many screens can book a 30 minute demo.
