St. Louis, MO – Aacer Sports Flooring and the Naismith Hall of Fame teamed up down the street from the famous Gateway Arch in St. Louis to see the tremendous talent featured in the Hall of Fame Showcase on November 17th, 2009. In the first game, the Louisville Cardinals downed the Arkansas Razorbacks 96-66 in a game that was closely contested until the Cardinals pulled away early after halftime. The second game was a dandy, with the top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks surviving a scare from the upstart Memphis Tigers, 57-55. Some highlights:
· Aacer attended a mixer at the Anheuser-Busch factory with the Hall of Fame, which included many Hall of Famers (see list below) and the coaches from the competing teams. Anheuser-Busch treated their guests with class, granting tours and picture opportunities with the famous Clydesdales, along wonderful hors d’oeuvres.
· Aacer revealed their new brand image, handing out comfortable long sleeve t-shirts to fans in the VIP hospitality suite in the depths of the ScottTrade Arena before the games.
