Also, United Center offers VIP (front row) parking if you are driving any model Lexus (even a very old one).

Really? Why is that? Lol. Thank you for participating! Not just being a grumpy old Irishtom.

Here is another for you all! I do work for Miller Coors occasionally. They have a rooftop bar for the employees/guests only. Its obviously not public, but its a pretty neat place to see!

Good marketing for Lexus. When we pull into the United Center parking lot (I think Lot H?) the attendants direct us to these special front row spots. It's a nice perk.

Lexus and The United Center create something unique « a blog about how to succeed in the new world of marketing

Last week I was at the Bulls game and noticed a great partnership the United Center has with Lexus. Now my brother drove me to the game… he has season tickets which is nice. He also has a Lexus which is nice. We pull into the parking lot and the attendant looks at his car and asks him if he wants to park in the Lexus lot. The Lexus lot is a parking row which is really close to the stadium where all Lexus cars can park next to each other. They even back in the cars in a special way so that they draw special attention to all of the cars.

Alright, time to pry a Lexus badge off the grill of some poor sap's car and affix it to my AMC Gremlin.
