Thank you for the explanation. I am qvelling (yiddish for giddy with joy) at your response, both because it shows that there was in fact a specific marketing target and because like a good marketer you capitalized on the opportunity to tell your story. I’ll just add that the Hotel Thayer on the West Point campus is one of my family’s favorite places for Sunday Brunch, and coupled with a game and a walk along the heights overlooking the Hudson makes for a memorable and beautiful experience. Go Black Knights!

The billboard near Stamford is aimed at the 1 million residents of Fairfield county, most of whom don’t realize that they live only 1 hour from West Point. That right, Stamford is 54 miles from the home of the Black Knights. A seventy minute drive to a family friendly Division 1 football experience, not to mention NCAA hockey, basketball, lacrosse and the 4400 seat Eisenhower Hall that hosts 4 Broadway shows this year–all open ot the public. We are trying to let people know that in less time than it takes to drive to the Meadowlands you can come and watch a cadet parade on the historic Plain above the Hudson River, then walk a few hundred yards to Michie Stadium, named one of the best places in America to watch a sporting event, see the cadets march on, and watch Army football. And it isn’t expensive and unlike some venues no one will spill beer on your back or shout profanities in your ear.
