Postby Hoop Fan » Wed Sep 22, 2010 8:26 pm

That really is cool. All of the public support, however contrived (if at all), is just awesome.

Now if we could get Reunion Tower to do the same, then we're talkin'. I've always been amazed at the advertising that could be done on that lit-up ball, for some mega revenues.

it is pretty cool. It definitely cannot be missed if you are driving down southbound 75.

I went to the 2004-05 Sugar Bowl when Auburn beat Va Tech. The easiest way back to Virginia is via I-85 that goes right through Auburn. They had a big Auburn flag flying from one of the bridges so that the Va Tech fans could see it on their way home. We need to position SMU images in such a manner that TCU fans have to see them coming and going.
Those who complain about a problem are simply wasting time they could use to fix it.

Potential is nothing, performance is everything.

apparently the Richards group had some involvement in this latest project. It would be cool to use that SMU building and the SMU Blvd for banners all the time. High traffic visibility all the time

I still don't know what "Fill the Ford" means

ParkLane's developers have ties to SMU, if I'm not mistaken.

It might simply mean someone was uncomfortable having signs put all around Mr Ford's house that said. Fill Ford.

Is it the Hunt Building? That's definitely the coolest building in Dallas. Here is the one I'm thinking of:

never mind that explains it. Although, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Hunt building scrolling something like they do for other Dallas sporting events. They are SMU affiliated also

I would damn near kill to see a Diamond M on the side of Reunion Tower.
