Kentucky Adds Interactive Ring of Honor to New Digital Media Presence

After teaming up with JMI Sports and SportsLabs a couple of months ago, the University of Kentucky athletic department has taken their increased digital media presence to new heights. After revamping their website and mobile applications, SportsLabs has added a new trick to their Kentucky Wildcats Gameday app—an interactive Ring of Honor.

Launching at the Wildcats’ football game against Tennessee on Saturday, fans can approach the Ring of Honor in Commonwealth Stadium and learn more in-depth information about each former athlete through the app. Each section in the Ring of Honor has been fitted with a Bluetooth sensor from Gimbal, and as a fan nears the Ring of Honor, they will receive a welcome message.
