[gatortalk] Can you please give me your opinion on a new concept?

[keith]

Being the serial entrepreneur / small business owner / inventor that I am - I've started a new business and I'd like to ask you, my GatorTalk friends, to help me do some market research if you're so inclined, by checking out and commenting on my idea. Since it's the off season and I'm not soliciting sales - just opinions - the site administrators have approved this for posting to GatorTalk. If you aren't interested in looking at my ideas or providing feedback, no problem, just delete this email and forgive me this one time intrusion. Watching football and basketball games last year - my dad and I noticed several trends: Crazy fanatical fans dressed up in costumes and body paint - are coming out from underneath every seat Everyone has a sign / poster / body paint with a message Stadiums are getting everyone to dress in one color The wave gets everyone at games involved Card stunts are really cool - but difficult to put together, expensive, long lead time, requires a lot of coordination and effort to get it to work, and is a huge mess to clean up. You combine all of these ideas into one and what do you get? Arena Text & Graphics What we do is display text and graphics throughout a stadium or arena by people just wearing their team colors.   Team configures the sections, rows, and seats in their stadium in our computers.     Team then enters text or graphics into different sections of the stadium Computers layout the text and graphics over the seats creating a bitmap - where each seat in the stadium is a bit of the text or graphics Computers then  know the color for each seat in the stadium People go online- tell the computers what seat(s) they are sitting in - and the computer returns a color for each seat. People wear that colored shirt and hat to the game.     Note that there was a card stunt at Gator Growl one year http://cdn4.wn.com/o25/ar/i/5e/29a0ea1aad17f0.jpg  Our technology replaces the traditional card stunt and allows you to do this at every game, all over the stadium - without all the mess and a fraction of the cost and time.  All the fans have to do is - wear their team colors to the game and sit there and look pretty.  So simple - even grandmas and grandpas can be fanatical fans without all the costumes and body paint. It's free for the fans - the teams pay like 25 cents per ticket for our technology.   We have just completed the filing of our first patents on the idea - so I can finally tell you what I have been up to. There are also some sample stadium layouts on our website to give you a better idea of what we are talking about.   You can find us at: http://www.ArenaText.com facebook and twitter are not set up yet surveys and blog on website are not setup yet I was wondering if you would mind helping me out?   Could you please go to our website, read it, check out the samples, fill out the survey, and tell me what you think?   Please reply to my email address and not the GatorTalk group. Thanks! Keith
