Plan to watch the Superbowl the night of 2/3... probably from a bar near the Hbf.
ARD is broadcasting the SuperBowl live if you don't mind watching it with German commentary...

that's very cool, reminds me of the helsinki train station from the outside, though helsinki's is much smaller.

is there a particular reason to watch the game there? good pubs or something?

I imagine if one finds an ex-pat bar they might have it on satellite.

I understand there's a large (chain) Irish pub near the Hbf called O'Reillys

It'll be on NASN as well, so even some hotels will have it.

It's just very convenient to have it on ARD--you can watch it anywhere.

I'm going this weekend, but as I recall the FAs on this flight are older than me!

I'll be the advance person this time and let you know if there are any potential opportunities.

Flygirl94 is the one we met at IAD, and AFAIK she doesn't do FRA much. Iflyua2, OTOH, lives on ORD-FRA.
