The NFL announced that they will play a regular season game in Germany for the first time.  Berlin is the biggest city but the game will be in Munich.  Munich was the largest German city that was fully in the American zone from 1945-1992 and has held 4th of July parades off and on over the years, showing their appreciation of Americans.

Bavaria has always been a more friendly part of Germany.

They don't take themselves as serious as the other parts of the country and enjoy having a good time with good people. Berlin would have sucked.

In related note, saw that the Pack are losing a home game this year to play overseas, I could just imagine the whining from their fans about that. Vic's probably thanking his stars that his site shut down earlier this year.

Totally Disagree.  This area from 1918 - 1945 were some of the worst regions leading to the formation of the Nazi party -- many of the leaders were actually from Austria and the Bavaria region of Germany.  Many Jews were executed in various concentration camps during WWII in this region.  Also, nearly 30 years later, 7 Israeli athletes in the Olympics were taken hostage and killed in Munich back in 1972.   


Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp in Germany, established on March 10, 1933, slightly more than five weeks after Adolf Hitler became chancellor. Built at the edge of the town of Dachau, about 12 miles (16 km) north of Munich, it became the model and training centre for all other SS-organized camps.

You can not blame the Germans/Bavarians for something Palestinian terrorists did. 
But yes, Bavaria was also the birthplace of Nazism.  Munich was also the only German city to be ruled by Communists in the chaos of 1919, and the birth and success of the Nazi Party was at least partially a reaction to that.
But all that was 100 years ago.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

Would be pretty wild to attend an NFL game with seriously proper beer and bratwurst.

I've had that seriously proper beer and brats and let me just say it would be epic. 

I miss living in Germany.....

For the record, we are heading to Brussels in a month (just for a few days on our way to other places). Looks like Delirium Village is the place to go for beer. Any other recommendation for beer and brats (or something extremely local to Belgium other than waffles and chocolate).

The pomme frites with a mayonnaise or dijonnaise based dipping sauce are big there - as are the moules-frites (mussels and fries)  - Often a fresh baguette is provided to dip into the white wine/butter/garlic sauce the mussels are served in.

 The beers are often broken into Blonde (single), Dubbel, and Tripel with the alcohol % increasing respectively through those. The Trappist ales are big there also. 

The Palm Special Ale is a nice amber ale that you'll see most everywhere and it's an easy drinker. 
Westmalle is another ubiquitous brand you'll find in the single/double/triple varieties most places.

Yeah almost every restaurant has mussels over there. I was into it, but my wife doesn't care for them.

Belgium is the most laid back part of Europe I've ever visited, mostly because it's not as touristy.

If you like sours, you can’t skip Cantillon.
