We planted a blogger to follow the team and report on the site as the events unfolded. As a result, fans had access to what the team was up to at all times. The site featured a highly intuitive navigation as links were integrated within the locker room giving the users the experience of almost being there.
Besides that, the site has plenty of interactive elements. There’s a discussion forum, a message board and a never before seen version of online chat where fans can chat as avatars. For this, we recreated the entire stadium online for fans to hang out.
