NFL hopes to make a splash in Bavaria with Seahawks, Tampa Bay game

As the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers clash on the football field in Munich Germany, a culture clash of a different sort is happening on the streets of this Bavarian city.

In a public square called Odeonsplatz, shadowed by centuries-old churches and museums, the NFL has created a space for American football fans to gather. Giant football helmets representing all 32 NFL teams are proudly displayed for passers-by and football fans to visit and take pictures of.

The Seattle, Tampa Bay matchup is the latest effort by the NFL to continue tapping into markets with a growing number of fans.

The NFL is looking to expand the popularity of American Football in Europe. Especially in cities where Soccer dominates the fanbase as the NFL does in America.

I'm a Seahawks season ticket holder. Went to Munich in 1987. Wish I could be there for this game.

You must be please the way Geno Smith has turned out. As a Jets fan I'm happy for him.
