From rigid structures to mobile courtside boards
For years, Orion used fixed, physical courtside boards. Heavy, cumbersome structures that offered little flexibility and only had room for one sponsor at a time. Not practical, not scalable, and certainly not representative of a club that regularly competes among the best in Dutch volleyball. Switching to HOOQD’s mobile LED courtside boards changed that.
Today, Orion uses 4 x 10 metre modular LED courtside boards. A custom-designed and built dolly makes it quick to move and set up the boards. This is sufficient for regular matches.
Taking the step up to the Champions League
After securing a place in the Champions League, they had to meet UEFA’s requirements: LED boards around the entire court.
Orion rents the additional boards it needs for this from HOOQD. Yannis Megens, Project Organiser at Orion: “I call a few months in advance and let them know what we need. HOOQD takes care of the rest and ensures the entire court meets UEFA’s requirements for LED boards.”
From 4x10 LED courtside boards to a court surrounded on all sides.
Thousands of eyes on sponsors
More LED courtside boards enhance the atmosphere in the arena. Sponsors see their name, as do the many thousands of people in the arena. At the same time, Orion meets the strict technical requirements for European competition without having to organise the logistics itself.
Yannis: “HOOQD comes to the arena. They take care of everything when connecting the LED boards and installing the additional boards. They’re always willing to help and are there whenever we need them.”
