EVERYTHING That Goes into Preparing a Stadium for an NFL Game In Germany | NFL Explained

@ronza A you little ****

[@jcabram9002]

The amount of preparation behind the scene is insane. Mad respect for everyone working for the event 👍🏻

[@mrtiesthatbind]

Except you're playing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, bringing NFL logistics and requirements to the stadium is an orchestrated chaos because they have to bring more stuffs and create more spaces for players and officials. Even when they played at Wembley they struggled because Wembley is designed as a football stadium, not NFL

[@boohere2]

To think they have to undo EVERYTHING at the end of the game.

[@Gbiese]

Always fascinating seeing the sheer logistical challenge in just putting on a regular season NFL game, let alone one in a completely different country, and having to adapt to the differences. And making it all appear seamless. Great job to all the teams involved.

[@dillondeclue967]

This is exactly the point I make about the recent bills bengals game. NFL can’t just make a quick emotional decision to cancel the game. It’s such a big logistical op to re schedule or just a waste to cancel. Needed to take into consideration lots of factors before a decision was made

[@johnfranklin8319]

Just about any logistical challenge can be overcome……..it just takes $$$. And that’s what the NFL has plenty of.

[@dead_redux]

you should watch the dhl F1 logistics video, that's pretty incredible as well!

[@Gbiese]

@@dead_redux I have, been an F1 fan for a while now.

[@boohere2]

I want to do see the World Series baseball and NBA basketball being done personally. I would love to see like a switch over between one team to a different team in same stadium. Like from Clippers to Lakers transition. I know they change the whole floors and other things.

[@Carlos-qo6gv]

Would love an NFL series only featuring the groundskeeping crew/ stadium crew from each stadium during the regular season. Plenty of action that goes on behind the scenes of an NFL game that most people don’t appreciate or realize. @NFL #hardknocks: behind the scenes

[@NotForLongNFL]

The Vikings released one a few days ago on their own KZbin channel

[@ShelLuser]

Not exactly what you're looking for I think but... have you seen the "The NFL's most interesting jobs with Steve Smith" series yet? gf & me are LOVING this because you get SO MUCH behind the scenes info. We discovered this thanks to our NFL gamepass but I discovered it's also available on KZbin! => kzbin.info/aero/PLRdw3IjKY2gk-cPPM3kijBoB7GEns1FIB We can highly recommend that serie!

[@jazzybeardancer]

I love how the NFL also highlights the country’s local staff / stadium and NFL staff that help put on such a production. You just have much more profound respect for these people and the planning.

[@ShelLuser]

So much agreed.. I just discovered this video myself and my respect for the NFL as a company really shot up.

[@WSB1469]

This was pretty cool. It highlights just how much “behind the scenes” work goes into making an NFL game happen.

[@ihatech1pr37]

Well yes of course it takes alot of work to make a game happen, however this is a big difference from making a game at a traditional NFL statium happen, its much easier then this. Still takes a long ass time either way tho

[@boomznbladez405]

personally, i like how Soccer football has gained in popularity here in America, and meanwhile American football is gaining popularity in Europe. Wonderful exchange imo.

[@ZRob23523]

It’s almost like both sports are amazing and the name confusion was just an unfortunate coincidence.

[@boomznbladez405]

@@ZRob23523 they are both cool sports. But the name confusion wasnt coincidence. Its because they come from the same sport. Along with Rugby(also can be called football).

[@Traubenjaeger]

Thanks for this different view on it. It’s great to see all this people who love their sport coming to Germany to bring us, the fans, the full, original experience. I think we, the fans, really felt that! ❤ Let’s do it again! 😊

[@judithoberpaul509]

It will definitely continue until 2025. The Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured the marketing rights for the world's best football league in Germany. That means these teams play a home game in Germany.

[@kelseyk530]

I wish Green Bay would've gone to Munich, Germany instead of Tottenham in England. Though that took forever as our team is so popular and iconic and the oldest in football and sold out 80,000 seats for the next 30 years, we had leverage to hold out and not give up coveted home games. However, Wisconsin is known to be a the main German settled state with so many people's families/ancestors coming over. I'm like 98% German...my dad's side is 100% with my great-great grandparents coming over. My last name, Konz, is a city in Germany. They settled in places which they named after German cities and towns like New Holstein, Kiel, New Berlin, etc. Packer fans are not only found in almost truly world-wide and travel probably top 2 of any NFL teams whether it be nationally (within the U.S.) or internationally; our fans can even up or take over the away/visiting stadium and turn it into more like a home game which is huge when you hear the shouting and screaming during your opponent's defense, quiet for our offense, and eruptive cheers during fantastic plays like sacks, interceptions, recovered fumbles, and touchdowns. The team's first overseas game in at Tottenham near London showed how the fans turned that into a home game atmosphere for the Packers as chants of "Go Pack Go" could be heard loudly and often, which was awesome to hear and see outside of the States.

[@doctorbarber1]

The fans looked like they were having a blast at that game. Seemed like they were more into it than the London crowds.

[@JasonB808]

This was their first time. London already seen NFL. London rather have soccer save some die hard NFL fans. 😂

[@xflare2724]

[@dl_0002]

It's awesome to see the sport most Americans love become enjoyed in other countries. I know a lot of Germans have played in the NFL, and those numbers will continue to increase for sure in the future.

[@TheNotoriousMC24]

I‘m still getting goosebumps to this day watching this and how it reminds me of the incredible atmosphere in Munich. When the whole stadium was singing in unism I just got blown away standing there and being a part of that memorable day🤘🏻🙏🏻

[@alex_mercinger]

Nothing but Goosebumps, I‘m sooooooo happy that you could bring this absolutely amazing sport here to uns in Germany 🥰

You just have to give it to the NFL for even wanting to try and pull of a stunt like this! Not to mention sharing videos like these, I'm loving every moment of it! The best part? GF & me saw this game thanks to our NFL gamepass (we're season newbies; this is our first NFL season we're following and we plan to watch a whole lot more!!) and we loved the atmosphere!

I didn't even know how much work goes into one single NFL game and I'm so thankful that I was able to see (probably just a fraction of) the people involved in the preparations Ngl as a german seeing this...got me to tears of happiness and joy, especially when the whole stadium was singing Take Me Home, Country Roads. I really wish I could have seen the reactions of Erin and Tim there :D This NFL game in Munich made me feel prouder of Germany than the national german soccer team in years now (world cups etc.) Thanks to the NFL and all Americans for bringing Football to us!! Much love from Germany ❤

[@JoMa_Black]

It's greate to see how Stadiums can convert in such a short time. Please show Frankfurt next year as well!

[@muratti72muc]

in Frankfurt they will have much more trouble than in Munich. Everything is much smaller than in Munich. Also the Bavarian atmosphere will miss and the US media think Lederhosn, Dirndl, Brezel, Blasmusik, Mass Bier, etc. is in hole Germany. Frankfurt is also not a tourist city like Munich, Hamburg and Berlin.

[@judithoberpaul509]

@@muratti72muc i agree with you . Munich is unique 😍👍💯🙋‍♀️

[@julesnatural]

@@muratti72muc They will definitely have much more trouble with a much smaller and far less kitted out stadium. But at least the old guard of Americans might recall Frankfurt being the headquarters of the US Army in Germany - and with Wiesbaden still the headquarters very close. Admittedly, I also didn't see that many Lederhosen and Dirndl representations in the film or on socials around the game, so perhaps it can be done without. And Frankfurt has beer just like Munich does, and everyone can learn about our Ebbelwoi, a kind of hard cider. There is plenty to do for tourists - but in the end, the game will supersede in any case, and the Germans travelling through Germany might not need as much of a tourist experience.

[@kelseyk530]

@@muratti72muc Frankfurt is a major international city and certainly better and bigger than Hamburg.

Congratulations to the entire team. Awesome effort. The first one is always the hardest. This crew would have had extensive reports and notes from the previous games from around the world, especially those in London, giving them indications of do's, don'ts, and things to be aware of. They would have learned so much from this setup and pack-down, making the next time a lot easier for next time. The debrief meetings and final report would be interesting be take a look at.
