Build a Sideline Sponsor Program
Sideline A-frame signs are one of the most effective sponsor advertising platforms in athletic facilities. Positioned at eye level along the field perimeter, they deliver double sided visibility to spectators, media, and broadcast cameras throughout every game and event.
The Padstar modular system is designed with sponsor programs in mind. Each 4ft panel can carry a different sponsor logo, letting you sell individual sections to local businesses. As your program grows, you simply add more panels to extend the display. Hook and loop graphic attachment means you can swap sponsor panels between seasons or events, creating multiple revenue cycles from the same frame investment.
Programs typically sell individual sideline panels for $300 to $1,000+ per season depending on market size and exposure level. A 10 panel home side setup can generate $3,000 to $10,000 in annual sponsor revenue, often funding the entire sign system in the first season.
BigSigns.com provides free layout planning to help you structure panels for maximum sponsor value while maintaining a cohesive, professional look for your program.

Let customers speak for us
from 11 reviewsCorey I want to thank you for your patience throughout this entire process. You have been fantastic and I am extremely excited to see how these look. Thank you so much.
Mario, we used the banner as a backdrop for a trade show last weekend. It was a huge success!
I chose BigSigns.com because I was impressed that they have worked with major colleges all over the U.S., and their prices were very reasonable. I absolutely loved working with Mario in sales. I'll admit, I probably wasn't the easiest customer due to my indecisiveness, but he was incredibly patient and helped make the process smooth from start to finish. The team completely nailed our project, and I already recommended them to others. The final result over-exceeded my expectations. This was a big-time project for a smaller school, and my goal was to have people see it and be wowed. Mission accomplished!
Ordered a door skin for our volleyball program. Customer service department was great ensuring the order was completed correctly in the end. Design team was accommodating with changes & requests to create a great final product!
This is Stevie Medina with the Raton Tiger booster club over in Raton. I just wanted to say thank you for those on deck circles. They're amazing. We gave them out to the softball team and the baseball team. And they were super stoked to get them. They loved them. A lot of the kids like, what are those? Those are so cool. Those are so neat. So they really got a kick out of them. Appreciate you. How quickly you guys turn those around. Boy, we had them super fast. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you much. And no need to return my phone call. I just wanted to let you know that we're enjoying them. And we appreciate all your help on it.
Just wanted to let you know HOW FANTASTIC the banner is. We have had so many compliments on this banner. Thank you!!!
BigSigns.com's ModStar gave us the ease of use, customization, and portability we needed. Modstar displayed sponsors for all seventeen nation-wide Game Breakers events; we are now repurposing the existing frames with new branding for our Copa-de-Calle events.
Over 400,000 runners will cross a Rock n Roll Marathon or 1/2 Marathon finish line, all of them crossing a BigSigns GatorAd finish line, specially formulated as non-slip safe no matter the weather! Thank you, BigSigns!
Let me start off by saying the signage is even more impressive in person than in your brochures or mock ups, which is hard to do. I love most everything about it. Also appreciate you guys busting your ass to get it done for our regionals tomorrow. You should feel free to use me as a reference if desired. The back of the scoreboard was done as well and looked fantastic. The back of the dugout was also done and looked great. Pretty impressive really. Thanks
We received our step and repeat a couple of days ago and it turned out great!!!! Thank you for your patience working with me until I made a decision on a design. We actually took it to a job fair yesterday and had people comment on it. In fact, I just sent your contact information to a gentleman from Amherst ISD. His name is Jose Gonzales. I hope he contacts you because he seemed very interested. I will definitely refer others to you in the future as well. Once again, thank you for all you did for us. I know we will get many uses out of it.Thanks- Jarod
We have done business with you in the past and have been pleased with your work. I will stop by your booth if I have an opportunity.
