Easter egg: In one of the games near the end of the movie, an advertisement for an L.A. radio station, KIIS-FM, is visible on the back fence. At the time the movie appears set in, radio stations east of the Mississippi River had a W as the first letter of their call letters. The Bulls are based in Durham, North Carolina.
