Legends Entertainment District announces partnership with Ram and Dodge

PHOENIX - The Legends Entertainment District (@LegendsDistrict), a first-of-its-kind joint venture between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Phoenix Suns, announced a new partnership with Ram and Dodge. The partnership features a custom 3-D super graphic of the new Ram 1500 truck as well as a static super graphic featuring the Dodge Dart. 

"When creating a campaign for Ram Trucks we knew we needed to do something bold and memorable," said Legends Entertainment District General Manager Judd Norris. "Their marketing and creative teams challenged us to push past traditional signage to come up with something unique. By placing a 30-by-14 foot, three-dimensional truck on the side of Chase Field and utilizing 2,923 square feet of total marketing space on a high profile location, we think we hit the mark for this iconic powerful brand."

The custom three-dimensional super graphic that features the new Ram 1500 truck is located on the north side of Chase Field along Jefferson Street. The 1,512-square-foot static super graphic that features the Dodge Dart is located on the Jefferson Street Garage at the corner of 3rd Street and Jackson. In addition, the partnership includes digital LED signage throughout the entire Legends District Network.

"Ram Trucks is excited to partner with the Legends Entertainment District to develop a massive custom outdoor installation featuring Motor Trend's 2013 Truck of the Year, the Ram 1500," said David Englen, Director of the West Business Center for the Chrysler Group LLC. "We feel that the location and scale make this an ideal opportunity to showcase the Ram 1500 to Arizona Diamondbacks fans."
