Sounds like more of a staffing/budget issue for the Vikings.
I don't know if there ever could be enough content produced, especially during the offseason. What have you seen, content-wise, on other teams' pages that is missing from vikings.com?
The first thing I noticed is that some teams seem to have a bigger budget to work with when it comes to their website. A lot of teams I seen have as much as 16 organized categories for their videos. From what I have seen:
-The coaches have their own segment.
-Most draft picks (draft picks outside of the 1st round) have been interviewed on video unlike ours where they were interview via phone.
-Lots of interviews from current players were conducted in the locker-room. And this is after EVERY practice.
-Press conferences from star players and coaches conducted atleast once a week recapping practiced.
-Alumni players have their own segment
- Then of course guys like Mike Wobschall have their own segment, I think ours is called "Pick 6," or something.
- Then they have exclusive content section where they basically take us on an adventure and less us fans see a little bit of how our players live off the field. The Vikings were doing that a little bit last year around training camp with last years draft picks.
- Then theirs the community outreach section. Even we seem to be pretty much ok in that department.
- There's another section where they would interview atleast one player each week (during the regular season) to discuss the last weeks game, and preview the upcoming game
-Another sections keeps up with the future prospects of next years draft.
All in all, there is plenty to talk about during both the off-season and regular season. I'm not doubting Mike's creditability as a fan. But these other guys seem to be die hard fans who lived and breathe to bring some type new update about the team every day.
