>>>And pronounced "Mark", not "Mar-kee", which is spelled differently 
(marquee), and means:

n.
1. A large tent, often with open sides, used chiefly for outdoor 
entertainment.
2. A rooflike structure, often bearing a signboard, projecting over an 
entrance, as to a theater or hotel. Also called marquise.

adj.
Being an athlete of exceptional skill and popularity: The team is hoping to 
sign a marquee player.

It drives me nuts when I hear a Pantera guy talking about "our marquee" 
when he means "our marque"....
