Fussball - Kaiserslautern

After we arrived in Germany. Don started working and settling in. We stayed in a hotel on base and tried to find a house to rent, and all the other millions of things you need to do when you move.
The second weekend here, we attended our first Fussball (Soccer) game in Germany. Somehow we missed doing that when we were here the first time. Above is the Fan section. They are holding up knitted scarfs with the teams logo on them. They were very loud. The stadium, for this relatively small town, seated over 40,000 people that day. And this team is a losing team... at least this year. They have very loyal fans.
They dedicated this game to 3 companies in town that are talking about closing their factories in K-town. Two were American companies and the team let 4000 employees in the game for free.
They are called the "Red Devils"
