Minuteman Press in Nashville, TN Completes Exterior Full-Wrap Rebranding of the Iconic Grand Ole Opry House Music Venue

Minuteman Press International Inc

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Grand Ole Opry House, owned by Ryman Hospitality Partners, is one of the most legendary music venues in the USA. Thanks to Minuteman Press franchise owner John Taylor and his team at Minuteman Press in Nashville, the face of the Grand Ole Opry House now looks as good on the outside as the music sounds on the inside. What started out as a sales call and business cards order ten years ago has evolved into a trusted branding partnership between Minuteman Press in Nashville and Ryman Hospitality, and the result of that partnership includes incredible projects like this one – the full-wrap exterior rebranding of the Grand Ole Opry House. Minuteman Press in Nashville is located at 415 Spence Lane, Nashville, TN 37210. John Taylor has owned the business since January of 2014 and is a member of the President’s Club for top performers across the Minuteman Press franchise system. John shares key details on working to complete this huge project on such an iconic venue. How did the project with the Grand Ole Opry come about? John Taylor: “We acquired them as a client about ten years ago. It originated with a sales call at the original The Ryman Auditorium, in downtown Nashville. The first order was a few sets of business cards. Their parent company is Ryman Hospitality. Working inward through the marketing department at Ryman Hospitality, a relationship developed. They have a lot of printers, but we stayed in touch, cross-selling where possible. Ultimately, we set them up on an online portal ordering system for their printed collateral and admin items for their various brands. We make it a habit to deliver all prospects our "Portfolio Thumb-drive". It is branded Minuteman Press and goes to them pre-loaded with our most impressive projects in categorized folders. That led to us becoming one of their trusted branding partners, I would like to say their preferred branding partner. We've done projects from Nashville to New York City for them as they open new venues.” What specifically did you do for this project? John Taylor: “We have done multiple projects at the Grand Ole Opry House. Regarding this project: It is an extraordinary surface, in that it is stamped concrete. It is made to look like a ‘rough-cut cedar’ wooden surface, with deep woodgrain and over a half-inch depth difference between the faux planks. There are two installation processes in this type of project. One is to install and register the panels together (58" wide panels). The second process is to heat and press the vinyl into the grain and contours with a heat gun/torch and foam hand roller, roughly 4" at a time. We measured, scaled and templated the whole project. We printed the vinyl on an HP 360 Latex printer, then laminated the vinyl on a GBC roll laminator (3M IJ-480 Vinyl with 3M 8520 Matte Overlaminate). We used our 55' boom truck and a rented 45' boom lift to install. The first team and truck would hang and register the vinyl. The second lift would have a heat gun, a torch, and roller to get into the grain, and a single installer with very tired arms. We blocked off an area to work every morning so tours could still safely operate every 30-60 minutes. We installed in close coordination with the security team every day and evening to avoid periodic live shows in the evenings altogether." What was the timetable / what did it take to complete the project? John Taylor: “The exterior, as all large branding projects do, began with an intense set of measurements and a write-up of all inclusions and challenges with the surface(s). We then created an Illustrator template for their art department, advising best practices and highlighting any areas to which they should pay special attention during design. The timetable was roughly 7 weeks, synopsized below: We surveyed the first week and provided them a template for artwork technicals and construction. It took them 2-3 weeks to develop art, get the individual artists' approvals, and the necessary internal management approvals. We removed the old banners and aluminum hardware, as well as prepped/cleaned the building during that period. I asked for 7-10 days to produce the vinyl. It took about a week to print, laminate and cut. We should have been able to install it in roughly one week with a crew of three. It ended up taking two weeks since the Grand Ole Opry has shows every couple of days, which limited our time (we had to be packed up and out of the way by 3 pm). The weather was also a factor." TIME LAPSE VIDEO: Full-wrap rebranding of the face of the Grand Ole Opry House – Spring 2023 – Minuteman Press, Nashville: How happy are you with the completed project? What has been the feedback you’ve received? John Taylor: “I'm extremely happy with it. I really am humbled and honored to be given the opportunity. Now, for the less-than-humble perspective; it was an intense scope of work... and we got the job done! We've had only positive feedback about this installation and people are loving the new face of the Grand Ole Opry House. My favorite reaction was from a security guard that said, ‘I haven't seen this many people stop and have their pictures taken in front of the building in years and years!’. He's been there over 15 years, so that was so gratifying to hear him say that.” John concludes, “To have our hard work appreciated, especially on such a large-scale project, it’s just a great feeling of accomplishment.” For Minuteman Press products and services and to find your local Minuteman Press, visit https://minuteman.com.

Houston Texans C.J. Stroud Reveals His Top 5 Active Quarterbacks — Including Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields — on The Game Day’s Caps Off Podcast

The Game Day

C.J. Stroud, one of the top Rookie of the Year candidates after being taken No. 2 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans, recently shared his top 5 quarterbacks in an exclusive interview with Adam Tabatchnick of The Game Day, sparking some controversy with the inclusion of Bears QB Justin Fields. Stroud, who had an outstanding collegiate career at Ohio State University, has set himself up to be the next rising star in the NFL. As a first-round draft pick for the Houston Texans, his expertise and insights into the quarterback position carry weight and generate excitement among football enthusiasts and fans alike. “The Caps Off Podcast, presented by The Game Day, tries to find the hot takes and fun around the NFL, and this interview was no different,” Tabtacknick said. “I was surprised to hear C.J. Stroud pick Justin Fields, but it’s such a great opportunity to get players’ real thoughts through our fun, non-traditional interviews.” In the interview, Stroud unveiled his esteemed list, recognizing the remarkable talent that Ohio State's football program continues to produce. His selection showcases the depth of skill and the bright future of quarterbacks emerging from the Buckeyes' ranks. The top 5 quarterbacks identified by Stroud, in no particular order, are: Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: A dynamic and dual-threat quarterback with exceptional athleticism and the ability to make plays both through the air and on the ground who is fresh off a Super Bowl appearance. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs: A two-time Super Bowl champion with a cannon arm, remarkable accuracy, and the uncanny ability to create mesmerizing plays that defy conventional football logic, widely regarded as the best QB in the NFL. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals: poised and talented quarterback with excellent decision-making skills, impressive accuracy, and the ability to lead his team with confidence, even under pressure. Burrow won a Heisman Trophy in 2019 with LSU. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: A physically gifted quarterback with a rocket arm, remarkable mobility, and the ability to make jaw-dropping throws while also posing a significant threat as a runner. He had his breakout season in 2020, setting Bills franchise records for single-season passing yards and touchdowns. Justin Fields, Chicago Bears: A highly touted quarterback heading into his third season with a strong arm, exceptional athleticism, and the potential to become a dual-threat playmaker capable of making game-changing plays. “Caps Off’s interview with Stroud shows how the hosts can relate to both players and a Gen Z audience with fun, engaging and controversial content,” said Olivia Witherite, VP of Digital at The Game Day. “By giving young podcast talent the opportunity to interview up-and-comers in the NFL, the league helps grow the next generation of fans and get lighthearted and eye-opening content that they might not see in traditional media.” Although CJ's top 5 has generated media interest, it wasn't the only top 5 Tabatchnick of the Caps Off Podcast asked rising stars at the NFL Draft. Guys like Jordan Addison, Will Anderson, and Zay Flowers all praised their top 5 favorite players in the league. Rankings have become notoriously synonymous with Caps Off, which has amassed more than 75 Million views since September 2022. The podcast is the first of its kind, a social-first and fan-driven community, otherwise described as Gen Z's NFL Group Chat. The Game Day is a leading sports betting and entertainment media company that provides fans with in-depth analysis, betting tips, and exclusive promotions for a wide range of sports.

Sports Betting Ads in Canada Could Soon Be Banned

MarketJar

If you’ve watched any of the recent sports games in Canada, you were likely ambushed by a series of sports gambling advertisements featuring famous athletes like Wayne Gretzky, George St-Pierre or Connor McDavid. In Ontario, the prevalence of gambling ads has increased significantly since the province launched regulated online sports betting last April, but one group is looking to have them banned. The Campaign to Ban Gambling Advertising is led by prominent Canadians who believe sports betting ads are harmful to young people and those with a gambling addiction. The group, which was launched by former Toronto mayor John Sewell and Greater Toronto Hockey League board member Karl Subban, father of former NHL star P. K. Subban, hopes for new advertising restrictions similar to that of alcohol and cannabis. Of course, Subban and Sewell are not alone in their sentiments. A recent poll found that 48% of Canadians believe that sports betting sites advertise excessively in Ontario. According to a study of gambling behavior released by Statistics Canada last year, more than 300,000 Canadians are at “severe” or “moderate risk” for gambling-related issues. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) is considering banning sports and celebrity iGaming advertising. If the new laws are implemented, any gambling ads that include active or retired athletes will be prohibited. They would also make it illegal for businesses to use cartoon figures, social media influencers, celebrities, and symbols or role models that are "reasonably expected to appeal to minors" in their advertising. The new regulations would be added to the province's internet gambling advertising requirements. According to iGo, there have been more than 1.6 million active player accounts on websites managed by companies with agreements with iGaming Ontario (iGo) since Ontario became the first province in Canada to create an open, regulated iGaming industry. There are about 40 operators with such agreements, with 31 offering sports betting. On April 4, iGo reported that in the first year of the legal online gambling market, the province generated "about $35.6 billion in total wagers and approximately $1.4 billion in total gaming revenue." However, those figures do not only include sports betting, but include casino games and peer-to-peer poker. The iGo data does not specify the percentage of wagers that were solely on sports. Engaging, Attracting and Retaining Sports Bettors With Content One company that’s doing things differently is NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc. (TSXV:BET). Instead of spending money to hire an athlete as a brand ambassador, Northstar is producing original, hyper-local sports content to increase brand awareness and stickiness among their player base. The company’s premium local sports content includes columns, live Q&As and other appearances from Northstar Sr. NHL insider Chris Johnston - one of Ontario’s most familiar and popular voices on the Toronto Maple Leafs - plus hundreds of sports betting articles and social media content produced monthly and distributed on social and on the Nortstar Bets website and app by Northstar’s team of expert sports betting writers. Additionally, in keeping with its made-in-Ontario strategy, NorthStar Gaming has partnered with Parleh Media Group, Canada's first sports betting content network, to create a variety of dynamic sports betting-themed videos, podcasts, and social media content, much of it featuring Northstar’s own content team. NorthStar Gaming syndicates the content across its own domains as well as third-party channels, including Torstar Corporation's digital and social platforms. As Ontario is currently considering a ban on celebrity sponsorship of igaming properties, NorthStar ’s decision to not pursue an athlete ambassador, but instead rely on a high-profile hockey insider and premium betting content, was a smart choice that provides the company with a clear competitive advantage. NorthStar 's position as an industry innovator and leader in the growing intersection of igaming and media is strengthened by this agreement. NorthStar Gaming is the one and only official sportsbook and casino affiliate partner for Parleh's owned and managed digital platforms in Ontario. NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc. (TSXV:BET) runs NorthStar Bets, a casino and sportsbook gambling platform with a decidedly local feel. The platform features a sportsbook that gives real-time news, data, analysis, and scores immediately within the betting environment, as well as a large choice of popular online casino games. NorthStar Bets was created in collaboration with Playtech PLC (LSE:PTECH) (OTC:PYTCY), a major provider of B2C gaming technology. Playtech became NorthStar 's strategic software and services supplier, supplying its IMS platform and casino services to Ontario's gambling sector as part of the relationship. Playtech also made a C$12.25 million strategic investment in Northstar Gaming to spur expansion and growth in the Canadian industry. This investment completed Northstar 's reverse takeover (RTO) financing, raising a total of C$22.33 million in gross revenues. NorthStar Gaming provides an unrivaled casino and sportsbook experience, in addition to live, on-call agents and original sports news and gaming content. The company benefits from its local presence by leveraging its strong Ontario roots, allowing it to keep in tune with the province's preferences and adapt accordingly. Because of collaborations and agreements with notable media companies, including an omnichannel advertising and marketing services agreement with Torstar Corporation, the founder of the Toronto Star, NorthStar is well-positioned to become a leader in the intersection of sports media and sports wagering. NorthStar, which is regulated by the Ontario Alcohol and Gaming Commission (OAGC) and operates under an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario, is committed to being a gaming industry leader by following the highest security and integrity standards demanded by Canadians. Slapshot Media, a Canadian iGaming marketing and managed services company, was acquired by NorthStar Gaming on May 8. Through its affiliation with Spreads.ca, an iGaming site owned and run by the Abenaki Council of Wolinak, NorthStar 's position in the Canadian market outside of Ontario is enhanced, and its target market is greatly expanded.

A slow mode is available. Cons There is limited stock available, and it is running out quickly as well Online only. Drone features to consider before purchase GPS: To compose photos, GPS is almost indispensable for toy drones which do not typically have it. Guided missile technology was repurposed for drone positioning. The goal is to remain stationary instead of being blown away like a missile. Piloting is easier and the drone can automatically return to the takeoff point when disconnected, which is a helpful backup. Controller: Each controller is unique. At the lower end, standard Wi-Fi is used for control and video feedback, with a range of approximately 100m and requiring a clear line of sight, while most models come with twin sticks. Expensive drones (listed here) utilize exclusive radio technologies such as DJI's Lightbridge or OM3, providing a range measured in miles, compatibility with master and slave controllers for separate pilot and camera operator operations, as well as first-person-view goggles. Camera & gimbal: Sensor size, megapixels, and vibration reduction are all crucial for a camera's performance. At lower levels, use cushioning or digital image stabilization. The best systems use motorized gimbals on 2- or 3-axis. Battery: The drone's flight time is limited by its battery capacity. Greater capacities do not necessarily result in extended flight durations as weight, particularly that of the battery, and effectiveness also play a crucial role. Minutes of flight time is the more useful measure. Although lithium batteries are powerful, 'Intelligent Batteries' are both safe and equipped with built-in monitors for convenient charge checking. Assume the hover time of drones is slightly less than the given flight time as they work best moving forward at an average speed. Maneuvers require additional power as well. The App: The manufacturer's app quality impacts the experience as advanced features on high-end drones need menu navigation. Certainly, this is the way to go beyond auto with the camera. Developers use drone sensors and app processing for simpler flying modes and visual effects like DJI's Tiny Planet. The Bundle: Drones can be purchased individually, with a remote, or as a bundle featuring items such as additional batteries, spare propellers, a bag, and ND filters. You may require spare propellers in the initial stages. Factor in the cost of batteries and the distance to charge them when calculating the price of a bundle. A good bag can safeguard them, even when just stuffed inside. Most drone gimbals have unique lens mounts, so it's important to keep this in mind when shopping for ND filters.
