The NFL has experienced huge growth in Germany in recent years. For two-time Super Bowl champion Sebastian Vollmer, there is no end in sight to this hype.

Former NFL pro Sebastian Vollmer sees no end coming to the football boom in Germany. “It’s only growing more. The community is bigger by the day,” said the two-time Super Bowl champion in an “SID” interview.

On Wednesday, the league had announced that two main round games will be held in Frankfurt in November. Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs will face the Miami Dolphins at Deutsche Bank Park, while Vollmer’s former club New England Patriots will play the Indianapolis Colts.

Vollmer sees “huge rush” for NFL in Germany

The previous year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks played the first NFL regular season game on German soil in Munich.

The huge number of ticket requests for the duel, three million tickets could have been sold at that time, did not surprise Vollmer: “Whoever talks to people in Germany and follows this, it was clear that there would be a huge rush. “

The NFL recognized “early on how important global growth is. We have over 200 million fans in America. That further growth is limited is clear to everyone,” Vollmer said. But the longtime NFL pro also used the example of the last Super Bowl to make clear just how big the league’s appeal is. “With Rihanna, 120 million people tuned in just for the halftime show. Entertainment can do the NFL. “
