re: Billboard Ideas for Birmingham

Something with “Stankey finger”

Per The Google:

"If you are asking because you want to run a fan-protest or advocacy billboard (a popular tradition for SEC fanbases), historic spending data shows exactly what it costs to get the conference's attention:

In a famous fan campaign, LSU fans raised money to put up multiple "#FreeDevinWhite" billboards within miles of the SEC offices. A high-visibility static billboard directly on I-65—the main interstate artery passing right by the headquarters district—cost them $1,865 for a short-run cycle."

4-Week Pricing Comparison

Digital Bulletins: Avg Cost: $1,500 – $5,000+
High-impact; ad rotates every 8 seconds; zero production or installation fees; can be launched in days.

Static Bulletins (14'x48'): Avg Cost: $900 – $3,500
Maximum impact; exclusive 24/7 exposure on your board; requires an extra $500–$1,000 vinyl printing fee.

Street-Level Posters: Avg Cost: $500 – $1,500
Good for local city streets leading to the SEC building rather than major highways; lower cost.

Lamar Advertising: The dominant vendor in the Birmingham-Gadsden market. They control an extensive network of static and digital bulletins across downtown. Their local office can be reached at (205) 599-2700
