CubsFanBudMan Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 And a story about how they do it:http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,4049431.storyI've seen a lot of words before, but I don't remember anyone trying to pull off an actual (not-letter) logo.

BBTV Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I think a building in Indy did a horseshoe earlier this season. This kind of stuff is so cool.In Phila., the Peco. building has a huge scroll on the top that says "Go [team name]" and other stuff, and they usually turn the lights on the buildings to the team color (at least for the Eagles), but I haven't seen anything like this.

Gothamite Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 That is pretty good. The Empire State Building lights up in team colors for special occassions, but nothing like this.Hey, maybe they could get people in those offices to turn the lights on and off, make it look like the bear's mouth is opening and closing? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moser316 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 They did the same thing to the Prudential Building in Boston when the Red Sox were in the World Series. I'm sure everybody here already knows about this, but I'll post a pic just for good measure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltravisjr Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Perhaps having that awesome skyline canvas to work with helps, but Chitown can really get into it. Here is what they did during the '05 World Series, which is impressive considering it is a divided town when it comes to baseball.LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazberg Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I'm embarrassed to say I never noticed the Bear head on the sides of the CNA building, and I'm downtown at least once a week. Although I did just see another building farther North showing support this past weekend: charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvelethMN Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I can't locate a photo, but during the Vikings' two latest trips to the NFC Championship (and possibly to earlier trips than that), the IDS Tower displays a large purple (and I believe yellow-trimmed) Vikings 'V'. Wish I could find a photo, and also wish I had taken some when it was happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winghaz Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Back in 1987, when the Twins were in the playoffs and then the World Series, St. Olaf Catholic Church near the Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis had a sign up that read, "Vici, Gemini." Which, in Latin, means, "Win, Twins."I thought that was so cool, even though I'm Lutheran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 BigBrain/BBTV - Isn't there a building in Philly with a big, red Phillies "P" done in lights. I swear I saw it on my way home from the city once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedawg22 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I thought that was so cool, even though I'm Lutheran.A Lutheran from the upper midwest? Are the women strong, the men good-looking, and the children all above average?Back in the 80s at MIT, students from the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity managed to get on top of the Sheraton across the river from the campus and switch off all the letters in the sign except the "ATO". oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

Lord_Jeff Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Shumway: You're right, the relatively new Cira Centre (yep, that's how they spell it--I happen to be sitting in the building right now) had the Phils logo in red and blue after Ryan Howard won the MVP.

BBTV Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Beat me to it. The way the lights are done in that building, they can pretty much display anything you can imagine.I'll still contend that it looks horrible at night, considering what could have been!(maybe they'll get it right with Cira 2.)

Shumway Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I actually thought the Circa Centre looked good at night. I saw it on my way back from, I believe, a cheesesteaks(yeah, plural...I had 2 in 10 minutes) run. I might've even seen it when I saw Wolfmother at the Electric Factory around Thanksgiving.

ohryan Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 The Marriott in downtown Kansas City has a system of lights on the outside that display different patterns and pictures. Here is a picture of the Chiefs logo during a Monday Night Football game a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
