Indoor Football League, Project FANchise Empower Fans To Join Virtual Front Office

Many years ago, the Madden NFL video game franchise presented a new type of gameplay to users. It allowed them to act as the general manager of a team; you could sign players, scout opponents, change your playbook, along with other things. That was the closest many would get to handling their own real-life football team — until now.

Months ago, Project FANchise revealed its plan to allow fans a chance to call plays, among other things, for an Indoor Football League (IFL) team. Now it’s unveiling something called the Virtual Front Office (VFO), offering fans a first-hand look and experience into what it’s like to be a part of a front office.
