If you thought college football fans wouldn’t notice the giant ad on the field goal net during the Syracuse-Western Michigan game in Kalamazoo, you’d be mistaken. Of course fans are going to notice. Do you realize how many lonely white guys were sitting at home tonight gambling and watching football games because it was LIVE ACTION?
Lots of guys were watching and they want blood. Someone needs to answer for this net and they better step forward tomorrow morning and resign.
This is exactly why you leave things to the pros at AllState.

Western Michigan needs to get a more transparent field goal net ad.

Western Michigan’s stupid advertising banner on the field goal net is not see through. It blocks the view of the kick for the tv audience and the end zone seats. Lol. Somebody didn’t think this through.

Let’s go back to 2014 and a Sports Business Journal feature on Allstate and the value it received per game from being on the field goal net. Average media value of $48,739 in 2014.
