Zis fraulein vill put a feuer in your lederhosen!

Lederhosen don’t look all that accommodating too, how should I put this, growth. Must be why the men wear them when the beer girls are at work.

Lions game is Nov 1. One month earlier would be right in the middle of Octoberfest. Someone is salty today. Relax man. You were right. Home game. We got it.

Well from the sounds of it, everyone and their brother is going to this game somehow. So it will at least feel like a home game from the crowd standpoint.

This is what I was hoping for, but I am guessing the locals don’t want an NFL game to coincide with Oktoberfest.

In every year where there was only one game in Germany, it was on the second Sunday (last year there was also a second game on the first Sunday). Therefore, I’m assuming it will be on November 8th.

Just to be on the safe side, I’ve booked a B&B for all three weekends in München already.
