_ That is a great promotional idea. They need to have a grand opening and give away season tickets (or something like that). Call Gerald Hebert and suggest it. Heaven knows the marketing department won't think of it. _

Yeah, that would be great. A real throw down party to kick it off.. they must have somthing planned like this.... this is historic. I want to get drunk and run around that thing like a little kid.. lol...seriously, a party with a band inside and a bar type party would be cool.. they could raise some needed cash...I'm game , who do I call?..

_ DC,

Quite some time ago you posted that there was going to be some kind of sign installed at the corner of Congress and Bertrand. I think someone even posted the picture or drawing. It has been close to, if not 1 year since we talked about that. Any word on when that will be erected? _

Since he ahsn't replied yet, I will say that I remember there being some soil issues, and that the original design would be entirely too heavy. I recently heard that the structure will be built soon and that it should be up and running by the beginning of football season. i read on here that a company (90% sure it was Cox) donated a large sum, in addition to the other 2 or 3 million they already donated, to supply the sign with its screen.

Thanks. I wasn't aware of the soil issue. Hopefully it will be up soon.

Gerald Hebert. He is in charge of athletic fund raising. I don't have his number but it has been posted many times.
