“Not Quite A Super Bowl”: Tom Brady Reflects On The Electric Crowd In Germany That Cheered Him To Victory Against Seahawks

Vintage Tom Brady is back! After falling into the deep depth of losses, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were able to edge the red-hot Seahawks out. The matchup took place in a foreign land where the crowd was assembled to watch their favorite team win. And boy, was it one of the best things that ever happened to the 45-year-old!

The seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback voiced his excitement for the great game in Germany prior to kickoff. Although he predicted a chilly atmosphere, they said that they will play at FC Bayern Munich’s stadium. It is the best soccer team in Germany.

Nearly three million people made ticket requests. However, there were only 67,000 seats available in the arena. TB12 already admitted in his podcast prior to the game that if it was anything like what he saw in the German Bundesliga games, it was going to be one of the most thrilling games he had ever played.

And after speaking on his ‘Let’s Go!’ podcast, it looks like the game lived up to his expectations. He said, “It was electric. We got there before the game and there was a huge tailgate out front. It was electric from the start. We ran out for pregame warmups and housing for the game. Stadium was basically full, I couldn’t believe it. It felt like not quite a Super Bowl but that type of electricity where everyone’s just super excited to see the game, so we all felt it was incredible.”
