Video games such as Madden NFL allow players to step into the shoes of their favorite athletes and step onto the (digital) football field. 🎮🏈
From engineering precise details to designing characters, alumni of @cmuetc.bsky.social help recreate the reality of playing football through Madden NFL.
@teppercmu.bsky.social researcher Tim Derdenger says that the NFL's endorsement of Pittsburgh is more valuable to the city than the influx of weekend sales.
According to Derdenger, the return on investment from hosting the #NFLDraft is found in Pittsburgh's brand equity.
