Pre-game report: The stadium

The ticket control points did not require us to show our ID cards. They only checked whether the ticket was for the correct game. Now, we are in and we are pretty excited at the same time. After getting some drinks - oh, yes, they did sell Bitburger - a German beer - anything is better than Budweiser.... ;) - we took the chance to inhale the atmosphere.
