So many team names from the NFL Europe era: Cologne Centurians, Frankfurt Galaxy, Rhein Fire, Hamburg Sea Devils, Berlin Thunder, and Barcelona Dragons. Blast from the past playing those old Madden video games.
The Paris team changed their name to Musketeers, and Barcelona have moved from Rues to Estadi municipal Olympic de Terrassa, which is larger and closer to Barcelona, also Vienna were planning on moving as they weren't happy with the stadium last season. Apart from that then it's good.
The stadium in Wroclaw really is a sight to behold. It's also unique in that it's main purpose isn't any regular team sport played with a ball but speedway which is still very big in Poland.
I’m not really an American Football fan but I do think this is a good league for Germany and Central Europe. Rugby isn’t really popular in Central Europe so it’s good to have a second (more physical) form of football as an alternative to soccer.
I can heartily recommend watching ELF games, if you're able to do so. The standard is very high, and it looks very much like the standard of the stadiums used are rising as well.
The track at Wroclaw isn't an athletics track, it's a Speedway circuit. Speedway is one of the most popular sports in Poland, and no other country has a bigger following of it than Poland. On a similar tangent, the 75000-seater Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, gets converted to a Speedway circuit once a year.
I find it interesting that a few of the team names, including the Barcelona Dragons, the Frankfurt Galaxy and the Rhein Fire (I know there are a few others, but I can't recall them offhand) were former NFL Europe clubs which were allowed to use those names following an agreement with the NFL.

I remember commenting on your video about the second tier of german football, wich featured the Rhein fire stadium.
Mexico actually has a Professional Gridiron League --> LFA

It's also worth mentioning that there is a pub integrated into the main stand of Stadion Hoheluft.
I really like this new League and was looking forward to this episode. Thank you very much :)

Cool to see some of the NFL Europe teams are still operating.
Very interesting mix of stadiums. I especially liked that you used my photo of Jahnsportpark. Luved it!
Gazi is actually a cheese producing company not energy. But maybe the team is named after the infamous stuttgart cheese surge.
Waiting for this video for a long time 🔥🔥some of the teams moved to a bigger stadium this season.
“Perhaps the people of Milán love Seaman” 💀 💀
Thanks for posting! Prague has an NFL-style football team? Never knew that my ancestral home would even care when they have Slavia and Sparta
If the NFL expands to Europe, I wonder which cities and stadiums, venues is going to be chosen to have a franchise.
THX Finally
