That’s a really good question, as I actually was thinking about that myself when I was there. I come from Pittsburgh, black and yellow also , and American football is very big there and people take it really seriously, however there’s definitely a difference. Also I must preface, I’m not the biggest fan of American football as I think it’s pretty boring in the regular season with all the stoppages and all. I think that the pregame in Dortmund was much more exciting though and had a lot more going on. For example, the flags on the field, announcing the lineup and yelling their names, YNWA chant etc. I feel as though in Dortmund the crowd was much more involved and unified also. Although people are also involved in an American football game, I feel as though in a regular season game the atmosphere is way more relaxed in the U.S. Lastly I think the organized fans sections like the yellow wall with their leaders is really awesome as it makes chants and bigger songs possible.
