For the last few years we have all seen the inflatable tunnels used by mostly American football teams. They are usually places right by the stadium tunnel exits and situated with fog and smoke machines and for night games, sometimes laser machines as well. The players then exit the tunnel onto the field of play and the crowd goes wild.

There are many soccer teams across the Atlantic that have started using these as well. These tunnels are a great way to impress the fans and bring about a rush of team spirit. When fans see the giant Lion head that is meant to represent their team sitting on the field and smoke and fog start rushing out of the mouth they get so exited they can barely contain themselves.

The players all say the same thing. They prefer running out onto the field through them as well. The players all love running through them. It is what they have wanted to do since they were kids. Of course this method of entering the field has not been around too long, but the players are not all that old either.

These also make great promotional tools. When the teams are doing an event somewhere within their home city they bring along theirs. They set them up and the players can exit from the inflatable tunnels right into the crowd as they all go wild. Events like these are great for bringing the team and team players into the public eye.

The manufacturers are even making somewhat smaller versions for some youth sports as well. The youth football and baseball and soccer teams all aspire to be just like their older counterparts. So adding these to the field and giving them the opportunity to make a stylized entrance just like the professionals has been a big hit.

The parents and the kids love it. The parents seem to like it a little more however. When these were tested with the youth sports teams it was the parents who cheered the loudest. When asked why after the game they said because it made them feel as if they were watching their kids on a professional field.

They don't even need to be used for sporting events either. They have been known to be used for other things. Anything that can be related to an animal mouth or any thing else can be used for an exit or entrance. For instance some rock bands or other musical acts have used similar ones to make their entrance onto the stage before a performance.

The inflatable tunnels are such a great way to add something more to the game and they are very easy to handle. They do not cause problems, they are safe, and they are extremely easy to handle. They go up in a flask and come down just as quick. The players and fans love them so there is nothing more to be said. These are a great addition to the field of any sport.
