ANN ARBOR, Mich. — College football fans in election battleground states have become accustomed to television broadcasts of their favorite games being overrun with political advertisements.
Saturday, the Democratic National Committee planned to extend the battle from the airwaves to the actual air around select stadiums, using banner messaging pulled behind airplanes to make their case, DNC deputy communications director Abhi Rahman told Yahoo Sports.
The DNC sponsored banners to fly above four college football stadiums on Saturday — Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor; Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia; Beaver Stadium in State College, Pennsylvania; and Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin.
