1. Yesterday (Tuesday)....the NFL tickets for the fall game in Frankfurt (2nd game) went on sale, and sold out in about 10 minutes flat. For the two games, I think they could have easily sold around half-a-million seats each.
If I were to gauge NFL interest in Germany....compared to the 1980s....it's a massive difference. I'd take a guess that you ask 25-percent of young German guys to name the teams in cities like Tampa Bay, Chicago, or DC, and they'd be able to do it.
The rumor of the NFL expanding? For several years, there's been chatter going on, and I suspect some analysis exists for two teams to exist in Germany (I think Munich and Frankfurt could easily support teams now).
2. N-TV had a segment yesterday....describing hodophobia (fear of traveling). Yes, there are apparently Germans who have an extreme fear over any kind travel.
3. Some rural area about 40 miles (driving) East of Frankfurt....had a field fire to start.....360 of those big round bales went up in the flames.
4. Hessen police pulled over some car in the Weiterstadt area....saying after the vehicle inspection, it was something straight off the movie 'Fast-and-Furious'. Forty-eight vehicle violations were noted in the end. Engine was assessed as being able to handle 400 hp.
5. Major storm activity in the Saarland yesterday.....tornado damaged thirty houses in one village.
6. From the Nord Stream I/II explosion activity....German police have traced samples of the type used to the boat identified in the activity.
