At a time when German fans are vociferously protesting against the domestic league’s plan to sign a contract with a strategic financial partner, something has happened in the country that is most likely an absolute phenomenon on a global scale.
In the past 22nd round of the 9-match season in the Second League, more spectators were present than those in the Bundesliga.
In numerical terms, the result is 284,643:261,099 in favor of the second tier of German football. Therefore, the fact that in the round in question hosts in the elite were primarily teams with a smaller stadium capacity helped.
It is also important for this unique achievement that this season in the Second Bundesliga, emblematic teams for Germany such as “Hamburger”, “Hertha”, “Schalke 04”, “Kaiserslautern”, “Nuremberg” and “Fortuna” (Dusseldorf) are playing.
Their stadiums have a large capacity, and the fact that their favorites participate in the II League does not stop fans from filling them to capacity.
In fact, this is exactly the main reason for the realized phenomenon. In Germany, people are really crazy about football to the point where it is an inalienable part of their being.
This is also the reason for the mass protests. The fans are against the endless commercialization of football and the accumulation of money at their expense. And they are ready to fight.
