Frankfurt NFL fans beautifully sang Take Me Home, Country Roads during the Chiefs-Dolphins game

They love John Denver in Germany, too!

Sunday’s AFC battle between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins was noteworthy beyond a wild ending. It was the first-ever NFL game in Frankfurt, Germany — giving fans in the Rhine-Main a chance to finally watch some live professional football close to home.

To commemorate the momentous occasion, fans at the Frankfurt Stadium took time to start singing John Denver’s famous melody, “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” together in a beautiful display of community with sports. When we talk about the appeal of attending live sporting events, it’s these sorts of wonderful moments where everyone is having fun together at the same time.

It’s truly special:

I get goosebumps every time I press play on that clip. Some things in football are just bigger than what’s actually happening on the field.

Bruce Irvin vibes to German crowd singing Take Me Home, Country Roads

The Seahawks and Buccaneers played a game today, but for once the crowd was the story.

The Seahawks and Buccaneers played a game today, but for once the crowd was the story. The German fans in attendance at Allianz Arena in Munich were as loud as it gets in pro football and brought their own unique flavor to a game with a Super Bowl atmosphere.

One Seattle veteran in particular enjoyed the crowd of 69,000+ singing John Denver. Watch Bruce Irvin – who played his college ball at West Virginia – vibe to Take Me Home, Country Roads in crunch time.
