Hi Samulama,

foreigners, except those from that odd far-off country called Offenbach, won't have any problems at all. Just don't wear supporters' clothings from other Bundesliga-Clubs (useless to mention, I suppose). 5M is not really the supporters' area but rather business-like. Still the athmosphere will probably be goog. Perhaps not right at 5M but you'll have a great view on the supporters' area and the pitch.

Before the match I recommend the Restaurant Buchscheer right at the S-Bahn-Station Louisa just a footwalk from the stadium. Have a typical Frankfurt meal there and enjoy selfmade Apfelwein (the local cidre) or just these days the fresh "Süßer" - an only half-way fermented apple-juice from the most recent harvest. Many fans meet there and will walk to the stadium ... you can't possibly miss it.

Just next to the stadium will be beer- and saussage-stalls. People will group everywhere around the stadium and have a couple of beers or Apfelwein. And don't worry being a scandinavian tourist: we germans only mind those embarrassing german tourists. You'll be perfectly fine just not cheering for the opponent and will easily pick up a couple of chants.

Enjoy the day in that exotic southern country!

Thanks for responding!

It will be great to visit a warmer country right now, Sweden is getting colder and colder .

I guessed that 5M would be kind of calm, that was why I chose to sit there. I want to be able be in a good position to both see and hear the atmosphere! That way I'll be able to compare the famous German fan culture versus what we have in Sweden.

The Buchscheer looks like the place to be! Also, will I have any problem with speaking English around the stadium, like when ordering beer/food and such? Should I order in my poor, homemade German instead?

I really look forward to the game, I heard that it's sold out as well! This will be the biggest crowd I've ever been a part of, in Sweden we're lucky to get 20.000 at a game in Allsvenskan..

Well met!

Hello!

I am travelling from Stockholm to Frankfurt this weekend to see the game vs Köln.

My question is, since I am fairly new to SGE, if there are some thing that I absolutely need to know and/or do when visiting an Eintracht Frankfurt home game? Also, I'll be sitting in Block 5M, what kind of atmosphere can I expect in this section? Are people quiet or vocal?

How will I bet met, as a foreigner? I've been trying to learn chants and such to melt in and actually contribute to the atmosphere, but what else can I do to not be viewed as a typical "Scandinavian Bundesligatourist"?

Last but not least, pre-game bars? What and where for the best pre-game feel?

Thanks for your help, bear with me!
