"We asked teens across the country to tell us what they wanted as we were creating Simon DTour Live because we wanted to engage teens and provide the fun and excitement they're looking for," Roosevelt Field Director of Mall Marketing Nancy Gilbert said. "They responded to the event in a major way, so this year we've turned up the volume with more talent, more sponsors and more interactive fun with the latest, hippest brands."
