Game On

The colors of the cheering horde and the prepared ground were bathed in red. As each subsequent challenger loped into view, twin gouts of flame issued from the towers flanking the entry way. It was at this moment when I understood why this place and event was sometimes referred to as “Frankonian Hell”. With each contestant introduced, the mobile flame-towers were removed from the arena, the red lights dimmed, allowing both the red and the white colors of the home-town supporters to be seen, and the Brose Baskets of Bamberg were ready to play some basketball.
So, yeah, the people from Bamberg are really into their basketball. The entire crowd had the upbeat energy of a well-invested student section, though of course without most of the opponent-shaming organized taunts which can be easily heard at many high-stakes games, for the entire game. The fact that Bamberg’s team is actually one of the best in Germany is probably a contributing factor to this willingness to be engaged for the duration, but hey, that’s just speculation. To close, it seems that, in Germany at least, one doesn’t need to search for a soccer game for some exciting sports games.
