rainmaker17 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 The Cowboys did this last year before game four of the World Series. It was great to see fans leaving Cowboys Stadium, slip on their Rangers gear and head to the Ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 ... It would be weird though if say, the White Sox hung a "Good Luck Cubs" banner outside US Cellular.Well, there was this: And the Blackhawks paid to promote themselves heavily at Wrigley and the Cell in 2008, and attendance skyrocketed from 16,000/game (announced) to sellouts of 20,000+. That was also partly due to the fact that ex-Cubs marketers McDonough and Blunk took over, but they had more to sell than just a ballpark. They had a team on the rise and a Winter Classic, but the attendance shift from city afterthought to hottest ticket in town in one offseason still amazes me. Before they'd even won anything. Of course it all led to this bit of city unity: Best examples I could think of, though not entirely the same. Also, the Bears and Blackhawks supposedly shot some commercials together, but the NFL nixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 The NFL doesn't allow their teams to cross-promote with other teams in town. How benevolent of them to prevent the Blackhawks from sullying their image by associating themselves with the Bears. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
