Legends Entertainment District
Not sure if everybody wants a new thread dedicated to this or not or if this is more appropriate to be stuffed in the Phoenix Development New Thread.
A buddy of mind mentioned "new lights" coming to downtown and I figured he was talking about the CityScape lights but this seems completey separate from that. Here is a link to the initial article I saw on this: Lots of bling coming to downtown Phoenix by KTAR.com Published February 14th, 2011 @ 11:01am http://ktar.com/category/local-news-...ntown-Phoenix/ PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks and the Phoenix Suns have formed a partnership to create an atmosphere in downtown Phoenix mindful of New York City's Times Square and Las Vegas. The Legends Entertainment District will offer nearly 50,000 square feet of unique marketing opportunities with a blend of digital signage and super-graphic static billboards, including the largest signage available anywhere in the Phoenix metropolitan area....... Here are other links I've seen as well: http://www.azcentral.com/community/p...-light-up.html http://arizonasports.com/?nid=41&sid=1385148 |
this doesn't real need its own thread, its just new signs. We already discussed it in the general PHX thread anyhow.

I probably wont matter anyway, because the way things are going with the
economy, this "legends" thing will end up being ANOTHER "JACKSON STREET ENTERTAINMENT FAILURE " :slob: The difference is : it on the other side of Jackson street. " what a coincidence " !! |
Oh ljbuild. Ye of little faith..... and spell/grammar check. :)

Why the negativity? Why does it make a big difference to you if it has it's own thread or not? If you don't like it, you can just choose not to click on it. :shrug: |
ljbuild, I totally understand what you are saying, however, when you think about what these lights, mixed in with CityScape's contribution of their own soon (of which we aren't sure of the impact), at least it will be SOMETHING.
I can see the wanting to be negative, trust me, as a AZ native I understand. But when you think about what USED to be there, these things, albeit maybe small things, are building blocks to better things to come. It may not seem like it, but downtown Phoenix has actually come a long way in the past 10 years alone. |

Its a lot easier to keep track of things on the forum if their all in their right place and easily organized, this topic having its own thread just seems unnecessarily. Kingofleos himself said in the first post he wasn't sure if this was worthy of its own thread and sought everyone's opinion, I was just adding mine. |

^What the hell was that? 5 of those blocks are parking garages and about 7 of them are empty lots...at least a rough count of the rotating half square mile they are showing in that animation. How fucking "entertaining".

I am thinking it is because those structures have room for signage. I can't believe anyone would want big LED signs covering the front facades of the Luhrs tower or other windowed buildings. They are putting signs where they can in the area.
What do they mean by static sign? I understand the LED signs. Also, what are all the blue numbered spots? The key does not explain them. |
Static is the opposite of dynamic. Static is a fancy way of saying billboard.
Im not down with this project. Its going to ruin my dark peace and quiet at night and cause so much light pollution i will no longer have a view. I just decided this. |
Will the LEDs be facing you? That would be a pain if so. Or is there a chance another building would block the LED signs?
So static sounds so much better than billboard? WOW, nice spin on those! |

This project almost appears to be a joke. |
I suppose there is a little nimby'ism going on, but what do you expect? they want to build some goofy flashy light district in my backyard. I like my awesome view at night.
