A bit off subject...

If anyone'zzzz interested, the Amsterdam Admirals host the Rhein Fire in an NFL Europe game at 8 p.m. April 20.

It's kind of late, and kind of obscure...and yet I might have to go anyway, just to straighten out from the 4-20 4:20 a bit, then get reblazed at a football game.

whereabouts are these games held?

I've never to been a a pro football game here in the states....but i would consider one over there, just not sure if 4/20 is the best time....hmmmmmmm

correct me if I am wrong but isnt football in europe the same as the game we call soccer in the US? while I was in amsterdam the world cup was going on and man do they love their football

I would be up for that. I used to play in the UK/European League and so it will be interesting to see what improvements there have been...don't expect NFL standard tho more like good College or CFL ...afterall it's a type of feeder league really.

They play in Amsterdam Arena, I think it's called, same place as the famous Ajax soccer team. The train drops off right outside the stadium.

NFL Europe is an NFL-funded league of U.S.-style football, pointy-oblong ball and all, with six teams in Europe (five in Germany, and the Amsterdam Admirals), made up primarily of young players from U.S. universities. Most are just delaying getting a real job, but some do hook on with NFL teams. The NFL uses it primarily to expand international branding, and to some degree for player development.

That's as substantive as I'll ever get about NFL Europe. My only real objective is just to smoke one joint after another at a live football game. I guess they could kick me out for smoking weed, but that would just force me to leave and go to a coffeeshop. Ouch. Hurt me.
