Can a mobile billboard truck run near the South Philadelphia Sports Complex on game days?

Yes. Pennsylvania's Act 124 limits commercial diesel vehicles of 10,001 lb or more to 5 minutes of idling per hour, and Philadelphia has its own 5-minute limit for heavy diesel vehicles. Operators often power screens from a generator or battery so the engine can be turned off.

Event campaigns are quoted per event. The operator serving your area confirms exact pricing.
Who runs the truck for a Philadelphia campaign?
Campaigns run through operators in the Legion network. Your request is matched by campaign ZIP code to an operator who serves the Philadelphia area, and that operator confirms availability, the route and your creative.
How do I know my ad actually ran?
Legion trucks run ScreenFleet, which logs every ad play with a timestamp and the truck’s GPS location. Your delivery report is built from that proof-of-play data.
