Hatcher & Frey Orthodontics installs interactive photo station at Hampton Roads Soccer Complex
On any given game day, over 5,000 people can be found cheering on their favorite players at the Hampton Roads Soccer Complex – home to some of the largest youth and adult recreational league and independent sports play in Virginia.
It only took one visit to the complex on a game weekend to see this was a hidden gem of a facility and one that Hatcher & Frey Orthodontics wanted to support and draw attention to in a bigger way.
“You see thousands of families – all geared up, ready to support these players – and we wanted to give them a commemoration station really,” Nikki James Zellner, Community Relations Director for Hatcher & Frey Orthodontics said. “So many memories are made on these fields – triumphs, heartaches, unforgettable friendships –
we wanted something that honored that.”
The idea? Create an interactive photo station that puts the fields in view, and pays homage to not only the HRSC sports scene but #757 beach culture as a whole. The station prompts users to “Play Hard and Smile Big” – by providing hashtags, and location info to share on social media.
“This is a station for all ages … and can be used as these players grow on and off the field. It’s really a place for families, teammates, and friends to capture special memories and moments.”
The installation was designed and built by Image360 Signs in Norfolk, VA.
