High School Football Game Featured on Six Digital Billboards

Stow-Munroe Falls and Kent both win! ... that is, until helmets collide Friday.

The Stow-Munroe Falls/Kent Theodore Roosevelt matchup received the most Facebook votes to be selected as the Akron General Sports Medicine Billboard Game of the Week.

Friday's game got 26 more votes than the St.Vincent-St.Mary versus Walsh Jesuit game.

There are six digital billboards that the game will be advertised on:

• I-277 west of S.R. 93 in Manchester
• Two billboards I-77 north of S.R. 162 on Copley Road (one facing south and one facing north)
• Two billboards on S.R. 8 north of I-76 (one facing north and one facing south)
• I-76 west of S.R. 91 on Canton Road

Clear Channel Outdoor, which manages the billboards and the program, estimates that about 1.5 million see the digital billboards during commutes. 

The billboard design will run today, tomorrow and during the game at Theodore Roosevelt at 7 p.m.

After the game, the billboard will announce the winning team as well as some highlights and headlines from the game, said Clear Channel Outdoor's Akron/Canton Area Manager Megan Waite.

Possible things posted on the billboard will be "leading scorers, leading rushers, props to the cheerleaders or marching bands ... just some statements to actually highlight the game and some of the athletes and other important students involved in the excitement," she said.

Stow and Kent Patch and Clear Channel are looking for live tweets and Facebook posts during the game.
