Berlin, Germany (Weltexpress). Another 16 days, and Super Bowl 2017 will be held in Houston, Texas.
The Yankees took the Lone Star State from the Mexicans in the course of a few years and a few wars, Mexico having gained their independence from Spain only a few years before. Texas was incorporated into the United States of America. The annexation took place February 19, 1845, so that now on February 5, 2017 in Houston, the 51st Super Bowl of American Football Professionals comprising the National Football League (NFL) can take place in the largest city of Texas and the fourth largest city in the US.
Four teams can still hope to win and will soon be fighting to reach the final. The New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons are already in the semi-finals.
We will not be at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, on 5 February, but will be watching the Super Bowl at the super Hofbräu Munich, Wirtshaus Berlin, Karl-Liebknecht-Straße 30, 10178 Berlin.
And report! Christian Gohl, Managing Director of Bayerische Wirtshaus Berlin GmbH, expects “a hot night” and a great crowd rearing to go for it. They certainly will cheer the teams on the whole night till early morning.
“Make yourself warm and experience this highlight of the year with us,” he says, and also that everyone should get strength and enjoy the all-you-can-eat-American-buffet. Entrance is free, but the buffet costs 12.50 euros and will be opened on February 5th at 10pm. The food will be very American: Hot dogs and burgers for self-service, salads and fries red and white. NFL fans, what could you want more?
The finale itself begins only after midnight Berlin time and will go on until the early morning hours (perhaps even until 5 am).
