Eintracht are crap, so should have no trouble getting in

and don't expect much from the football, whoever they're playing. All teams play pretty much like the national side - ie. great possession football, but not very exciting. Atmosphere would depend on who's playing who as you might expect: two big clubs or a derby is likely to be best - or if one particular set of fans are nutters (eg. Hertha - although they have large skinhead/neo-nazi following). Don't expect too many away fans either - couple of thousand tops except for the biggest games. Everyone hates Bayern & Hertha Berlin by the way. You'll laugh at the fans who appear to be stuck in the 70s - all denim and scarfs round the wrists.

Personally I wouldn't bother unless it was a really big game like Schalke-Bayern or something. St. Pauli (in Hamburg) are possibly worth seeing, but only because their fan-base is somewhat alternative.

You should be able to get beer and sausages in the stadium & there didn't used to be a problem with drinking in your seat, but I can't guarantee it.

These guys might be able to give you more up to date & expert info though: User Posted Link - you'll find email addresses by clicking on Club and then Info
