DESCRIPTION
uSTADIUM is the first social network for football fans, leading the charge in online to offline social sports interaction. Fans no longer have to feel uncomfortable publicly ranting about their favorite team. Being lonely during football season is not an option. uSTADIUM is the solution and arena for football fans, creating instant fan camaraderie, and enhancing the fan experience. uSTADIUM avoids the pitfalls of inane social chatter, pet pictures, and selfies, and is where fans rant, rave, argue, and cheer – online and offline. The estimated 80 million US football fans, finally have an outlet to form unique identities, and meet other fans at the local sports bar, tailgate, or uSTADIUM event. uSTADIUM’s iOS app launched in May of 2014, and has become a fan favorite with over 2,500 downloads, and high profile collaborations with players like Victor Cruz, Jadeveon Clowney, Sheldon Richardson, and Antrel Rolle. uSTADIUM requires additional funds for accelerated development through hiring, above-the-line marketing strategies, and continued technical iteration.TRANSCRIPT
