Best second division ever? Fans set new record | OneFootball

In the lower tier of the Bundesliga, Karlsruhe and Schalke, Hertha and Dynamo, as well as Nuremberg and Braunschweig are currently facing each other. So far, none of the matches have been record-breaking on the pitch – but in the stands, it’s a different story.

According to ‘Sky’, never before have so many people made their way to the three second-division stadiums on a Saturday afternoon as today – a total of around 140,000!

While the Max-Morlock-Stadion in Nuremberg is not completely sold out, it’s a different picture in Karlsruhe and Berlin. The Wildpark is packed to the brim – and it’s not just the home fans making themselves heard. Thousands from Gelsenkirchen are likely in attendance here as well.

Even more impressive is the away support at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium: 11,000 tickets were officially allocated to the Dresden fans, but according to the 'Tagesspiegel', about twice as many are believed to have made the trip – many of them likely in the mixed sections of the stadium.

All in all, nearly 75,000 fans are in attendance at the Olympic Stadium today. According to ‘TAG24’, this is the season record in the 2. Bundesliga – and it’s unlikely to be surpassed by the end of the season.

The football in the 2. Bundesliga may not always be a feast for the eyes – but the fans in the stands, as so often, are once again top class today!
