Advertising at Tropicana Field

Was wondering what you guys thought about advertising at Tropicana Field, i.e. placements throughout the arena, items they sell, freebies and other items.

I expect it to get "worse" as we get better and better each year, but I want to know what you guys currently think of the advertising and how you feel while being marketed towards at the game?

Personally, I think the advertising done at Tropicana Field and the items they sell in the shop are more "down to earth" than other arenas around the league. I mean, I don't feel violated when I enter Tropicana Field and would actually gladly buy an item.

I personally miss the halcyon days of ads and promotions sponsored by felon-run student loan companies.

Also, I think upgrading from Southwest to Delta as “offical partner” shows just how far we’ve come.

They've done amazing job...

Not only has the NDRO increased corporate sponsorship (I imagine) but they have also found a way to present the ads in a very pleasant way. Just looking at pre-05 and then 06 pictures of the area around the Batter’s Eye will show how far they have come.

I agree

Like where my seats was last year when I was able to go to the trop. front row between first and the pen. There was a sign that changed, but my buddy who I went with. was able to tell his buddies to look for that sign as we check to see when it changed.

But as long the Trop doesn’t become too much ads, I will be happy. I think they can still add a few more ads in other areas then we be all set.

good luck on your paper
