The National Football League said it could have sold over 3 million tickets for the first regular season game ever in Germany between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks on Sunday proving again that Tom Brady can attract a crowd.The Buccaneers quarterback is certainly not the only reason for the massive interest but even the NFL admits that with seven-times Super Bowl winner on Munich's Allianz Arena field there is an added buzz. "Perhaps the understatement of the year it adds to the excitement and buzz around this game that he'll be on the field," conceded Peter O’Reilly, NFL executive vice president of club business and league events during a conference call on Wednesday. "He is clearly a worldwide superstar who not only the many rabid fans in Germany are aware of but the casual fan."Anybody on the street is aware of Tom Brady."Brady, who was back in the global spotlight last month after announcing he and supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen had ended their 13-year marriage, will look to make headlines on the field as he bids to become the only quarterback to start and win in four different countries (U.S., England, Mexico and Germany).He also enters the contest with 373 consecutive pass attempts without an interception and can pass Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers run mark of 402 set in 2018.
While Brady is the number one attraction German fans will be treated to a marquee matchup.The contest at Bayern Munich's home ground will be the first international game between two division leaders with the 6-3 Seahawks sitting top the NFC West and 4-5 Tampa Bay leading the NFC South."I mean the chance to go across to another country, play a sport that I love, I have heard there's 3 million ticket requests for 67,000
