Sydney Swans Nostaboard

Sydney, Austrailia

After their move to the iconic Royal Hall of Industries, the Sydney Swans thoughtfully explored a captivating experience for Swans fans and guests of the building alike. As a leading Australian football team and a premier professional sports team in Australia, the Swans felt they had a great story to tell within their new space. The historic facility has had a variety of uses over the years, which was reflected in the decision to install a split-flap display wall.

Populous, the Sydney Swans, and Xibitz quickly brought the concept designs to life through high-quality fabrication and installation. Xibitz’ team built and traveled to Sydney to install the 2,145-piece split-flap rotating image display that energizes the lobby. We are proud to have partnered with two world-class organizations on this project.

Chicago Cubs Nostaboard

During the 2016 regular season, the Chicago Cubs pursued a suitable experience in their new office tower next to Wrigley Field. As the oldest team in professional baseball, the Cubs felt they had a great story to tell within their new space. Coincidently, sports architecture and design firm Populous presented their final designs to the Cubs the same week as the World Series and “HOLY COW, CUBS WIN!!” So back to the drawing board to develop a much more amazing story to celebrate—and a much more condensed time frame to create it in.

Populous, the Cubs, and Xibitz quickly brought the concept designs to life through high-quality fabrication and installation. Xibitz built everything from the World Series Trophy display to a 3,475-piece split-flap rotating image display that energizes the entry. We are proud to have been a part of this always-believed-in Chicago celebration!

As a part of this project, Xibitz’ Engineering department developed and installed a one-of-a-kind Nostaboard to greet visitors into the space. The Nostaboard showcases 10 images featuring Wrigley Field and the history of the Chicago Cub’s franchise.

"The display provided by Xibitz serves as a warm welcome to all front office staff, players, business partners, and fans who enter the Cubs' headquarters. The ability to rotate images allows viewers to get a glimpse of the many important moments in Cubs history."

Additionally, the display promoted customers to participate in trunk shows and sale events that season. The display gave AK Rikk’s the capability of highlighting those top shoppable brands and events in a more compelling way.

Split flap display is a digital electromechanical display device that presents changeable alphanumeric text, and occasionally fixed graphics. Often used as a public transport timetable in airports or railway stations, as such they are often called Nostaobard from Xibitz. Split-flap displays were once commonly used in consumer digital clocks known as flip clocks.
