Home to football club Bayern Munich, the packed house at Allianz Arena did not disappoint as they cheered, sang and even booed, making the game an electric spectacle.

The Chiefs and Patriots both have strong fanbases in Germany. German fans have a soft spot for Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady. Mahomes in particular is beloved by German fans. The Bucs versus Seahawks game seems to be the beginning of what could be an annual event over the next three years.
