Bonds/Aaron Super Bowl Commerical

Xanadu Dragon · 02-03-2002, 11:57 PM

Anyone else see it?

What park was that? I'm more than sure it was not Pac Bell. Was it Turner? Arlington? Anyone have a guess or know for sure?

Cute spot, no?

Loved the spot...i saw it twice. I honestly thought it was yankee stadium.....seemed deep to cf and short to rf....but i don't know

Xanadu Dragon · 02-04-2002, 07:21 AM

Not YS - for sure. The seats were not blue. Plus, I know the fence was notthe Yankee Stadium fence.

Also figure that it was filmed some time in the last three months - - so, most likely, it would have been a warm spot.

I'm still thinking the Ted.

KCBOOMER · 02-04-2002, 10:25 AM

I thought it was one of the best commercials. No idea what park it was.

Xanadu Dragon · 02-04-2002, 10:30 AM

My wife told me this AM that it was rated one of the better Super Bowl spots on the Today Show. (Britney got slammed.)

It was a big league park - wish I knew which one.

I didn't see the whole commercial, but only caught part of it. I don't *think* it was Turner Field - based on my recollection, I don't think the upper deck in right field extends that far around. But it may have been. I thought it was Yankee Stadium, also, but I'll defer to those who know better. Hopefully they'll run it more often.

Maybe it was Arlington?

We have a mystery!

LeGrandOrange · 02-04-2002, 11:10 AM

Off the subject...is it just me, or is this the first time Barry Bonds has been in a national ad campaign?
I have no idea what park it is myself, I've slept through the last two Super Bowls, and I can readily admit that Britney Spears is the reason why, my mind seems to program my sleep apnea to avoid her accordingly, but it just seems like the first time Bonds is in such an advertisment.
He at least chose a good company, although it's weird that Schwab chose an active player. Considering how most of the current commercials have involved retirements, at least. Of course, the pairing was perfect.

gyb13 · 02-04-2002, 11:18 AM

definitely the best one. hey: hank isn't that bad an actor!

Xanadu Dragon · 02-04-2002, 11:19 AM

Bonds and Ripken had a spot together a few years back - with the punchline being Ripken sporting a Bonds' like earring. Forget what it was for..................

BuzzBuzzard · 02-04-2002, 11:38 AM

I also thought it was Yankee stadium

Xanadu Dragon · 02-04-2002, 11:46 AM

Wow - I cannot believe how many of ya'll thought it was YS - - trust me, it wasn't.

Duque · 02-04-2002, 12:34 PM

Definitely was not YS. Maybe it wasn't even a ML ballpark? Was Bonds even wearing Giants insignia?

Xanadu Dragon · 02-04-2002, 12:36 PM

I think they just had Bonds in a Giants road uni without the .
