Titolo: NFLEL: World Bowl 2000 a Francoforte

La NFL Europe League annuncia che il prossimo World Bowl verra'
giocato a Francoforte il 25 Giugno 2000.
Ecco il testo del comunicato stampa:
Frankfurt named as site of World Bowl 2000;
championship game in Waldstadion on June 25
THE city of Frankfurt, home of the defending champion Galaxy, has been
chosen to stage the first World Bowl of the new millenium. The
championship game of the NFL Europe League, World Bowl 2000, presented
by Holsten Pilsener, will be played in the Waldstadion on Sunday, June
25.
It will be the second NFLEL title game to be played in Frankfurt. In
June 1998, a crowd of 47,846 saw the Rhein Fire beat the hometown
Galaxy. World Bowl 2000 will also be the third straight championship
game to be staged in Germany after the Galaxy beat the Barcelona
Dragons to win World Bowl '99 in the Rheinstadion, Düsseldorf.
"We are very pleased and proud to be asked to stage the World Bowl
once again," said Galaxy general manager TILMAN ENGEL. "The 1998
championship game showed the entire world of sport the passion that
exists here for American football. With the continued support of
Holsten Pilsener, I can promise that we will create an equally
spectacular and exciting event. 
"In front of the best fans in the world, head coach Dick Curl and the
Galaxy team will do their best to become the first team in the history
of the NFLEL to successfully defend the title."
World Bowl 2000 will offer the city of Frankfurt and the NFL Europe
League the chance to be showcased around the world. World Bowl '99 was
broadcast to a record 172 countries, including a live network
television audience in the United States on FOX.
JOACHIM VANDREIKE, mayor of the city of Frankfurt added: "The city is
pleased that such a major event will take place in Frankfurt. American
Football has become very popular in Frankfurt and the whole Rhein-Main
area because of the Frankfurt Galaxy. 
"I am a football fan myself and a Galaxy fan and I hope that Dick Curl
and his team will reach the final. But I am sure that football fans in
the Waldstadion will create a great atmosphere no matter which teams
play in the final."
The game, which will be contested by the top two teams at the end of
the NFLEL's 10-game regular season, will be accompanied by several
days of special World Bowl events in Frankfurt.
The 52,000-capacity Waldstadion becomes the first venue to stage a
second World Bowl. Previous championship games have been played at:
Wembley Stadum, London (1991); Olympic Stadium, Montreal (1992);
Olympisch Stadion, Amsterdam (1995); Murrayfield, Edinburgh (1996);
Estadi Olimpic, Barcelona (1997); Waldstadion, Frankfurt (1998);
Rheinstadion, Düsseldorf (1999).
The full schedule for the NFL Europe League's 2000 season, which kicks
off on the weekend of April 15-16, will be announced shortly.
