Ads on the steps of Turner Field
You know, I’ve gotten used to the rotating signs behind the catchers with ads for Lumber Liquidators, and the greenscreen ads that are only visible on television. I saw something this week that I think finally took it all a bit too far.
Watching the Braves games this weekend, and behind the catcher, on the stadium steps, they’ve added advertising asking fans to vote 25x for Braves all-stars on mlb.com.
I guess it’s not so bad for all-star voting, but you know if they show a boost in participation, they’re going to start selling that space too. So, who are the target advertisers to promote their wares on steps? theladders.com?
The view of batter/pitcher is cluttered enough with a constant crawl, the scoreboard widget and the behind the plate ads… Do we really need steps advertsing too?
