last match of the season

Yesterday afternoon I was asked if I'd like to go to the last soccer match of the season 2006/2007, that took place today in the Commerzbank Arena - a real big stadium (they had 50500 visitors today)...! And because I have never been to a stadium - although I am a soccer fan - I certainly wanted!

Can't explain the atmosphere... the sound of 50000 shouting and cheering fans... even if it were not my favorite teams I don't want to miss that exciting experience!!!

We started at 1:12 pm in Wiesbaden by train and get off the train at Frankurt Stadium train station at approx. 1:50 pm. At the same time it stopped raining...! The second highlight: We had no tickets so far to get into the stadium and if you try to get tickets at that late point of time you usually have to pay something like a black market price... But a few steps from us a young guy sold some tickets: one ticket was 22,- € (29,50 US $) but he gave us two for 25,- € (33,70 US $)!!! Somebody else, who saw this, came over and told us (I hink he was a bit jealous) that he had payed 28 € for his single ticket... and we had two tickets for 3 € less - isn't that cool?!?

Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera so I only took some pictures with my cell-phone camera... Those are not really good, but you can take a look at the Commerzbank Arena and also see pictures in the internet- I could find some via google (pictures there are mostly from the soccer world cup last year).

Thanks again, JR, for making it possible!
