Brian Simorka, with the Durham Bulls organization, motions people over to join the blue section, which was at the capital G in Google. People arrived wearing primary colors and were separated into different groups and assigned to different letters in the word Google. At approximately noon, a plane flew over and snapped an aerial photo of the huge word on the ball field, in the hopes of luring Google to bring their high speed network to Durham.
