Driving through downtown this morning, I saw something I have never seen in my 17 years in DC. I saw an ad on the side of a Metrobus for Hoya Basketball tickets!! Interesting that such a promotion occurs when tickets are less-available than years past, but the fact that we even have such advertising at all is a good indication that promotional efforts from McDonough are improving. Kudos to whomever pursued this!
The ad (panel-sticker, I believe) was complete with the 100-years logo, a photo of the team in a timeout huddle, and the phone #. There may have been more to it, but the bus passed through an intersection while I was making a right turn. I didn't get a chance to get the full view.
Anyway, this type of advertising could potentially reach more people in the market than radio &/or TV ads. I think it is a terrific idea, and it s probably less-expensive than electronic media.

Also inside at the Judiciary Square metro this year. Nice big picture of the team huddle, JTIII on the side, and the 100-year logo.
