The Detroit Lions are heading to Germany this fall and there’s one star receiver particularly excited.
By now, most people know star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown’s mother, Miriam, is from Germany and he fluently speaks the language. He’s consistently reaching out to fans in Germany and been a part of a number of youth football education camps there.
So the Lions left it up to Miriam to announce the big news.
“You know, you’ve got a lot of fans in America, but you’ve also got quite a few in Germany, and they’re going to be very happy this year because you—or you with your Lions—are playing Munich,” she said.
Amon-Ra immediately began clapping, and said he had a suspicion that’s what his mom was calling about.
“I knew there was something because you texted me very early and I thought this could be something, I think we’re playing in Germany,” he said, with a big smile on his face.
His mom said that many people are going to be happy about the news, especially their family.
Amon-Ra had a personal message for Lions fans the team posted on X.
“Finally, the time has come. We have a game at home in Munich—a dream come true. Lions fans, we are here, let’s go,” he said.
The game, which is a part of the NFL International series, will be played at FC Bayern Munich Stadium. Date, time, and opponent will be announced during the NFL schedule release, which typically happens mid-May.
For fans thinking about going, the Lions are offering official fan travel packages with priority access available now. Per detroitlions.com, fans who place a deposit get access to an exclusive pre-sale for tickets with “front-of-the-line access to choose premium game seating.” The deposit, which begins at $500 a person, is fully refundable and applies to the total balance of your final package selection. They say packages can also include travel accommodations, pregame hospitality, and excursions.
