Munich Kids

Any football fans out there? And I do mean  football, not soccer.

Did you know that there is an American-style football league in Munich?  The Munich Cowboys offer football, fan clubs, cheerleading - even hot dogs and hamburgers at the stadium!  There are teams for men, women, and kids.  There are also 3 squads for cheerleaders - senior squad, junior squad, and peewee squad.  So, there are opportunities for kids and adults across a wide age range to get involved in football and cheerleading.

The men’s games are held in Dante Stadium, with a seating area of about 3,000. Tickets range from 4 EUR to 7 EUR per game or 17,50 EUR to 42,00 for a season pass.  Seems like the kind of family outing that is fun and affordable at the same time.   Children up to age 6 are free.

The website is in German and posts information about upcoming games for each league.  Contact information for the different leagues and cheerleading squads are listed separately on the web site. The next men’s home game is on July 22 (2007).
