Did You Know? - that the 3rd Tempt Destiny billboard was going to be an Eagles billboard?
For the 2004 season, the Vikings fans won the Tempt Destiny billboard rights. The billboard signage sponsor at the time was an avid Eagles fan who agreed to sponsor the Vikings Tempt Destiny billboard signage on one condition - that should the Vikings lose in the playoffs then the 3rd Tempt Destiny billboard would go to the Eagles. After the Vikings playoff loss, the billboard gift was then offered to the Eagles, but not accepted. This was the season that the Eagles went to Super Bowl XXXIX.
Lesson learned - ONLY the fans will decide which team will be on the Tempt Destiny billboard - the rest is up to destiny!
The 1st Tempt Destiny™ billboard was displayed in January of 1987, on Rt. 3 before the New Jersey entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel 10 days prior to the NY Giants Super Bowl XXI victory.
The 2nd Tempt Destiny™ billboard was displayed at five different locations in New Jersey from August, 1990 - February, 1991. During the playoffs, the message was changed to "GO GIANTS" prior to their Super Bowl XXV victory.
Note of Interest:
A feature article dated November 12, 1990, in the GIANTS EXTRA publication, autographed by Bill Parcells, talks about the possibility of "Another Lucky Sign". What was then wishful thinking, later became reality. Do we have any wishful thinking for a fourth Tempt Destiny billboard for this season? - time will tell.
