CityVille is taking home field advantage to a new level today, giving players a new way to root for their favorite college team. Zynga is proud to team up with the Collegiate Licensing Company to allow players in CityVille, Zynga’s most popular game on Facebook, to build branded college-themed items of their favorite school. Today, players can choose from over five items, including a sign, clock tower, university library, college dormitory and even a sports stadium. Players will have access to items from over 50 colleges across the country, from Alabama to Wisconsin, and West Virginia back up to Arizona State.
Have a split household, with one son going to California Berkeley and the other to Stanford? No sweat. It’s easy to build a Stanford stadium, and a California Berkeley clock tower. Want to support both the Orange and Big Red? Build the Syracuse library, and Cornell dormitory with the click of a mouse. While one might look at this as a personal foul, we think it’s genius (like MBA genius), and a great way to play the field.
So bust out those pom-poms and face paint for the tailgate on Saturday, and make sure to show your school spirit in CityVille! Check out the screen below to see a few of the college themed items now available in CityVille.
