Another Basketball Commercial at 18th and State Court

Apparently if you're shooting a basketball commercial in Chicago these days, it needs to be at the basketball court at Northeast corner of 18th and State (under the EL). We were randomly watching TV and saw this recent Adidas commercial featuring many athletes as well as Chicago Bulls stud Derek Rose. You might see something familiar at the :09 and :16 second marks:



For historical perspective, you might also remember a post we did in August of 2009 about Gatorade utilizing the same courts to shoot a Michael Jordan limited edition "G" bottle. Anyway, it's always surprising to us when we see random Shots around the Sloop on TV.

    How did they roust the homeless guys?

    Disappointed that the Park District did not use the whole Michael Jordan thing with Gatorade to flex muscle for some park improvements of this small site, new court surface, fencing, lighting, etc...

    No vision.

    Agree with last poster. If this court is suddenly "high profile," they should spruce it up a bit. And when are the eL support posts going to be painted?!?! The rusted-out facade is pure ghetto.

    They probably like the look of the rusted-out facade.
