[Saba Sports News] Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga giants, have officially announced that their home stadium, the Allianz Arena, will host NFL games for the third consecutive year. While the NFL game was held in Frankfurt last year, it will return to Allianz Field on November 10, 2024. The match will feature the New York Giants against the Carolina Panthers, with the Panthers designated as the home team. Hosting NFL games at the stadium not only showcases the sport but also stimulates the local economy. The game held at the Allianz Arena in Munich on November 13, 2022, generated an economic benefit of approximately 70.2 million euros for Munich and its surrounding areas. This demonstrates the significant impact of hosting NFL games on the local economy and culture, attracting both domestic and international fans to Germany and fostering interest in rugby sports, which may contribute to the further development and popularity of rugby in Germany.
