"Just about every year, the NFL picks a couple of German cities, sends over (typically) mediocre teams, who engage in error-filled, boring games that people in the United States forget are even on television. That is all part of circus that is growing the brand for the NFL. However, there is a fallout from that - the stadium grass gets completely destroyed. In addition, the German teams using those stadiums as home fields have to deal with a shoddy replacement turf,"
"According to a report from RTL and ntv Nachrichten (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), the NFL is coming back to the Allianz Arena in both 2026 and 2028: š The NFL will be back in Munich. The Allianz Arena will host the 'NFL Germany' game of 2026 and 2028, while 2027 and 2029 will be played in Berlin. The teams have not been announced yet"
The NFL stages annual games in German cities, often sending mediocre teams that produce error-filled, low-quality contests while expanding the league's brand. These international events routinely damage stadium grass, forcing German clubs to accept replacement sod that can be shoddy or unreliable. The Allianz Arena in Munich will host NFL games in 2026 and 2028, with Berlin slated for 2027 and 2029. Financial incentives motivate hosts, but turf replacement and stadium maintenance create recurring headaches. Some German fans show enthusiasm for the matchups, while concerns remain about on-field quality and post-game field conditions.
