We're obviously bigger than roma and merda. Everton is an EPL club with an American as GK so it helped too.

crazy to think that the stadium which hosted the man u vs real madrid match is the largest in north america and it's not even home to any of the nfl sides, instead it's a college team.

Americans take their college football pretty seriously. Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's more popular than the NFL in some states.

You don't have to be a College Student to follow a College team.

And yes, College Football is huge in 'Murica. To my knowledge especially in the south and Texas.

Texas A&M

Texas is basically a country in its own right, so hardly surprising.

Unfortunately, yes. People spend maybe 4-5 years of their life at a college and then the next 50 pretending they're still in it.

You do that with high school, and you'd be arrested for suspicion of having sex with a minor.

I blame ESPN. They funneled tons of money and TV coverage into it to fill the airtime, and it's gotten way out of hand with fake amateur sports.

I guess Bowling For Soup were right.

In states like Alabama, Nebraska, Oklahoma, to name a few, that may well be the case indeed.

College ball, especially football, is also big business in the US. Many coaches are paid as well as their NFL-level colleagues, while some would be among the highest paid even at the pro-level.

Not in Denmark

 

[JuveJay]

Yes?

We are in agreement.

Unfortunately, it's still part of the US.

With some luck you'll see 'Murica fall apart in your lifetime.

Statute of limitations esé, and back on topic we go.

Beaver Stadium is the second biggest in the country iirc, again a college football stadium. Huge.

I'd say more like definitely.

Anyhow, NFL games between random teams sell out at Wembley and could probably sell 150,000 tickets upwards per game if it were possible. I don't think I've ever met a serious NFL fan here, either.

I know it's a different format and novelty involved there but it's an indication of what bringing a famous brand in for a limited period of time can do. Those two teams stole a march on everyone in the football world, and Barfa have done well to claw ground back (thanks to their amazing success + Messi).

I can almost guarantee that besides the non-serious fans that a whole bunch of Hispanic people turned out to support Real (even Barca "fans") and the rest were EPL fans. Vast majority being the non-serious fans.

That being said Real and Manure do have a gazillion times stronger brandname than any team in Serie A unfortunately.

So true.
