European's First Time at an American Football Game - European Reacts 

Everything at games is very expensive. That’s why they have tailgating parties!

It does not sound like she is a sports fan. She was very overwhelmed

Here’s another “when you visit the US, do NOT badmouth football.”

If you go to a game, go with football fans. I don't really like sports that much but going to a game with lots of fans is invigorating. Going with positive people makes it a positive experience!

She's so right...they're quiet as mouses at French soccer matches...no cheering, no screaming, and especially not a sound. Has this girl ever been to ANY sporting events in any country? Yipes.

Her complaints was that it was too hot, too crowded, and loud? What on earth? What do you expect for a massive sporting event?? Most of these complaints are honestly on her. She doesn’t seem like the type for large sports. In all due respect.

Good thing she didn’t go to a college football game…bigger stadium, even louder and I went to games in college and screamed. Now when I watch my team on tv I still scream and am 75 years old! Football is a game of strategy and you have to know the positions and the rules! 🏈❤️🏈💙🏈💛

There is a SPECIFIC REASON WHY AF FANS ARE LOUD . They are trying to disrupt the verbal communication between the opponents players . On each play one player gets a "play call" from the coach through headphones in the helmet. It's a long coded communication that gives each player their assignment . This one player must verbalize/repeat this coded message from the coach to all the other players . So the fans get loud so they can't hear the "play call" giving their team an advantage !

As an American I go to games to have fun, I don't worry about prices to anything because I know it's expensive I prepare for it. I can't wait for football season. Let's Geaux!!!

We have flags that size all over, there is a car dealer a few miles away that has an approximately 20x40 flag. Stadium concession prices are the highest prices in the nation. If it has a concession stand you absolutely cannot bring food or drink in. If you are caught snesking stuff in you will be thrown out. Theaters, stadiums, whatever. I am not a fan of football at all, so I wouldn't have even gone to the game. But if I went I wouldn't be whining and complaining like her. But then I think this is the girl that had a fricken panic attack when she saw a cop carrying a gun. She complains a lot.

The filming rights belong to the NFL and are sold by contract to TV broadcast companies. If everyone could film and distribute a game, they could loose $$.

She should just write off major events, be they sporting or some other entertainment. She needs to identify her own issues with crowds, with noise, and with the basic aspects of profiteering off of gatherings. Then she needs to evaluate every event she is thinking of going to and take these considerations into account. There is nothing wrong with not being a sports fan or a live entertainment fan, but there is something wrong with not being a sports fan, going to a sporting event, and complaining about all those things that she knew she had issues with before going. Not having a good time is on her, not the event.

Complaining that people are cheering… What did she expect?

This is a pro game (NFL). Everything at the stadiums including tickets, food, souvenirs are STUPID expensive. Eat before you go to the game. Also, NFL games are proprietary, and if they think you are blatantly filming the actual game, they might get on you for that. Football takes time because each play is planned out, (highly mental as well as physical game!) and takes 20 seconds of so to organize in the huddle. Then, for pro games, there's such a thing as "TV time outs" - hahaha. Basically, gaps in the play so the national TV coverage gets their commercials in. Being at an NFL game is madness. Crazy fans, and over 50 thousand people. I've been to quite a few NFL games, and you go for the overall vibe/stadium experience and to be with all those fans. Usually, the average football fan in America (including me!) is more than happy to watch on TV. Better coverage, and better to see what's going on. Yep - they should have watched on TV, or taken her to a college game. Cheaper anyway, though college is sometimes just as big a crowd, and just as crazy. Anyway- sounds like she was made half-sick from the heat, which isn't uncommon in DC/Baltimore. That probably didn't help, plus, sounds like she got spooked by the huge crowd. She is kinda a timid little thing.

If you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen.

There are some folks that can hang with thousands of their closest friends, others can't. It would help to go to a game that might mean something to you or someone you're visiting. They can tell you why the game is played the way it is, maybe point out some more "famous" players to root for (or against). You'd probably be thrilled just taking in the experience. But you will have more fun if you have a team to root for or a player that's fun to watch. Yes, this was NFL. I think you'd have more fun at a college rivalry game, but both are very American experiences.

She complains about not being able to film then films?????? lol. Btw she is at the Washington DC stadium, it’s a dump. The prices are high but teams only get 8 home games in a season. It’s the hottest ticket in town. It’s extremely expensive.

Her experience was NOT bad she was just uninformed and inexperienced (w/sporting events in general) and that contributed to her overwhelm, which sucks because she had SUCH GOOD SEATS! lol.

If you know nothing about the game and express no interest or curiosity of the basics, you really shouldn’t attend a game. Put me in cheap seats to a Cricket game and I’ll read it the same way she did an NFL game.

Food is expensive in the stadium. Bottles of water are expensive but guaranteed there are water fountains around the stadium. At Arrowhead, a drink starts around $6 a beer is about $9 and $10 for margaritas . Arrowhead is the loudest outdoor stadium in the world. You can feel the sound pulse through your body. It can make your heart skip a beat. It's amazing.

She not cut out for this life lol

Fans Tailgate before and after the game because the stadium prices are high. Tailgating means lots of Barbecuing

This was an NFL game, not college. It is a real treat to go to an NFL game. Most Americans have never gotten the chance to go. And the games occur in all weather. And she's wrong about the screaming. The fans participate in the game and help their team to win by screaming really loud. This unnerves the visiting team and makes it difficult for them to hear the calls. This actually affects the outcome of the game! So when your team is playing offense, you do not scream. Only when the opponent is playing offense do you make as much noise as you can including banging on the seats. And you're right about the strategy. The coach is an integral part of the team and is why coaches are often fired after losing seasons. We own seats at the Philadelphia Eagles stadium and we love the games when we can go. Due to work, we live across country now and are forced to sell most of our tickets every year.

A high school football game would have been a better experience.

true about the expense of food and I agree that is why so many parties out in the parking lot with food and music

Filming in the stadium is not frowned upon.

The bigger the event and the more of a captive audience you're in, the better the opportunity it is to charge incredible prices and pick your pocket for every little thing. At any big gathering, you can gauge how steep the costs will be by how much they charge for parking and how many scalpers are selling tickets and how inflated they can sell those tickets.

There are sports bars and sports restaurants that have 10-15 different big screen tvs with every nfl and college games.

Definitely better to watch at home. Good food, great drinks, and a wonderful time spent with friends and family.

Yes this sweet girl is not used to the crazy that it can be. Also she is probably not that into sports so that can be boring if you don’t like the entertainment. Also she is right about the crazy prices of the food and drinks. But it is an AMAZING experience (especially college football). But it definitely isn’t for someone that is not used to loud crazy fun places. She was definitely overwhelmed and that is ok, it is not for everyone and let’s show her love for her honesty!❤

Sporting events, concerts, theme parks, movie theaters all charge extremely high prices because you're a captive audience. You could get it for cheaper, but they know most people aren't going to (or the venue doesn't allow you to) leave the area and come back. They'll just pay the higher price to not have to wait in line to get back into the stadium/park.

Of course you can see the game & all the angles on better on tv. I'm not sure what she expected, but you've seen the crowds. People go to cheer on their team & to have fun. It's like going to a concert. I didn't have great seats when I went to the Journey concert in 1981, but I'm glad I went. You'll never hear me say "I wish I would have stayed home and watched it on tv". But I can say that I went to the Journey concert when they were in their prime.

I went to a University of Georgia game when I was a student there and I was completely overwhelmed, so I understand what she's saying. I've had no problems going to baseball and hockey games, so I stick to those and really enjoy myself. I also appreciate her honesty about her experience and thought her comments were fair.

Her glass is half empty

She's so uninformed. You're supposed to scream as loud as you can when the opposition is on offense so that the team can't communicate it's plays easily. The louder the stadium the better the home field advantage and fans are proud to be loud. Im from KC (Chiefs) for example and our stadium holds the record for being the loudest. 142.2 decimals. So those people screaming weren't attention seekers, they were good fans.

The flag is called a Post Flag. It is the largest size authorized. Typically, it is used on military bases.

Oh...her. No, thank you.

It's not soccer but there's something about American football that is satisfying.

All concessions at professional level sporting events are exorbitantly expensive. Actually, any venue that has concessions would be expensive. Football people are over the top and in the South college ball has more craziness because everyone is enthusiastic and die hard fans. As for food and drink, if you can't bring your own, you can always tailgate (in the parking lot) which is extremely popular.

Watching a football game live v. on TV = apples v. oranges.

It isn't for everyone, and I think that you have to be in the mood for it too 😊

Oh, wait, she got hot sitting in the sun for four hours? Fine, next time go to a Packers game…in late November.

Jeepers Pete-O!!! How many times did she say "ridiculous"??? If she wanted near silence she should have visited an empty parking lot of a closed town mall or find a sound proof room where her dream may have come true. .She's done SO many reactions on the USA, playing the hopeful future visitor to football games and parts of our beautiful country. And she NEVER complained about all the "boxes" filled with goodies, treats, hats, "football" Jersey's, etc..etc. she's received from those Americans who showed kindness. Too loud? Too expensive? She should've prepped some French goodies, packed them up and just complain about the cost of some wine, hmmm? But then she'd have it wasn't like French wine!! I LOVE FOOTBALL, I LOVE GOING TO GAMES!!! They're a place to boo, clap, yell, eat, drink and CHEER, and BOO!!

You are correct . Football is at the same time the most physical and the most intellectual of all team sports .

Fan is short for fanatic and folks just go to have a good time and enjoy the actual atmosphere- you definitely have to be a people person to enjoy it all

First off watch all you post. So that being said your host lacks decorum. I love football. We go every chance we can. The food prices are high it covers all the people cleaning , serving , we have no problem paying extra for a nice SAFE place to go. We scream. We yell loud and proud. We enjoy the game as a whole. If she wanted quite go to a museum. Bless her heart!

You need to watch the biggest hits in N.F.L. ...BRUTAL.. you will love it.😂

We have a small memorial in my little town in Illinois and it has one of those giant flags. I see it every day.

years ago..a tv network put on an athletic competition for all sports.football players, basketball players, baseball players, etc to see the most athletic and since it included many different skills - it was pretty close between all sports but I think I remember that football receivers ultimately won out as the most athletic

Many Americans do not have the opportunity to go to a professional football game; it’s a privilege and very invigorating

She's so funny, how the hell do you think those football players make 50 million dollars a year😂

Football stadiums are large and they cost a lot of money. Most of the year they are only open on sundays. So they still have to pay for the stadiums.They're not fully paid for. That's why the prices are so high. They have. Concerts and other things that happen in them also. Each of those players make millions of dollars. Some of them hundreds of millions. They have to pay for it somehow.

You can film at the stadiums, but you can't record the game as the NFL owns all video rights, regardless. She was confused or exaggerating.

As many have mentioned tailgate parties my experience with them is you can't make to the stadium without being offered food and drinks (beer) every 20 feet. Free! College football is crazy. I have never heard anyone complain about it being too loud! Hard to believe.

This was an NFL game between the Tennesse Titans (formerly the Houston Oilers going back to pre-1996) and the Washington [DC] Commanders (formerly the Washington Redskins). Concession Stand prices are ridiculously expensive because with short seasons of less than 20 games per season, and you assume only half of those will be home games, you have to charge a lot. It's sucks for the consumer, but they almost have to do it. The NFL is 17 games for the regular season, so figure 8 or 9 home games per year, the stadium has to make their money from somewhere. I think the League gets the majority of, if not all of the cut from Ticket Sales. I could be wrong on that, so don't quote me. Now, as for the atmosphere of the game. Yes, it can and will get loud in these stadiums. Especially in domed stadiums. But that's kinda the point, especially when the opposing team has the ball. The objective there is to be as loud as possible so that communication amongst the opposing team is disrupted. But Marie is correct in one thing. Sometime you do get these obnoxious fans who tame their cheering to an extreme level that doesn't make much sense given the conditions on the field. And that's when things can get a little annoying. Because Marie didn't have a dog in this game, she couldn't really really relate to the cheering, etc, but that's to be expected. If I went to a game where I didn't have any ties to either team playing, I'd feel the same way. But...but when your favorite team is playing, the sounds of those loud cheers get drowned out because you're either a part of the excitement and/or you're just happy about what's happening. I've only been to a few college and professional games in my life. And those were back in the 80s and 90s. Went to an Indiana Pacers game and an Indiana Colts game when we were visiting some friends in Indianapolis. Seems like the Pacers were playing the New York Mets, and I can't remember who the Colts were playing, but I wanna say it was the New York Giants. I've also been to a couple University of Illinois Illini games, actually 3 if you count one basketball game. One of the football games was against the Penn State Nitany Lions, which if I'm not mistaken, turned out to be one of the most exciting and biggest games in college football history. The Illini played real good for the first half, but squandered the lead late in the game and ended up losing. We had some friends who were UofI alumni and who also moved to Champaign, Illinois after living in my hometown and working with my Dad for several years. That workmate came down for my Dad's funeral wake a couple weeks ago. Haven't seen him since my mom died 10 years ago, I think. But anyway... Oh a couple things different from NFL and College football games is that admission to the stadium works different. For students, it's either Free or really cheap. Most likely Free, I believe. Only outside guests/attendees have to buy tickets or have a season pass. And they aren't that expensive for regular season games. Now for playoff (Bowl) games, they are more expensive. Because everybody is pretty much at a neutral stadium for a Bowl game. And the other difference is concession prices...I think those are a lot more reasonable because the players aren't getting paid the $millions like pro-players are.

If you are going to something that you dont enjoy you won’t have a great time I guess. Everything that she didn’t like is apart of the experience of a football game. We go for that noise,expensive food. And her not being able to see has to do with what you pay for tickets. The reason it was hot was probably because it was a pre-season game. They can be usually during the hottest last month of the summer which is August or September where it’s still possible to have warm weather so there is that. She may enjoy the games in November the weather is cooler but will probably be even louder. Lol

Everything she had to say was negative and then... "The experience was really nice" ????? LOL

The games I have been to, the reason was safety. You can only bring certain items. My lady friend was not allowed to bring in her purse so we had to go back and lock it in the car.

She was extremely annoying to me. 1st time Ive ever left a negative comment

She is sweet and it just wasn't for her. I do not care about the NFL but I have been to more college games than I can count and they are so much fun! There is a reason that over 100,000 people show up for Tennessee home games. Trust me, it is something to behold! However, I am afraid one round of Rocky Top would have sent her to the ER, bless her heart! I am not being sarcastic, she is precious but just too delicate for football. I wish her well. I say to your other viewers..... Keep on tailgating my friends no matter what! Whether you Hunker Down with the Dawgs, Fight with the Irish or (best of all to me)...soar with a 'Spirit that is unafraid'! Keep grilling those burgers and playing that cornhole as it represents American culture at its best! War Damn Eagle!

Haha. This would be like my wife going to a football game, which is why she does not go.😂

As others have said you eat your fill in the marketing lot, and get a good buzz going. That way you are good to go or at worst you spend like 30 bucks for a few beers to keep your buzz going for the game. Also not all stadiums are this expensive. None of them are cheap mind you but some places really screw you on this compared to others. I think Atlanta has very reasonable prices from what I remember.

I love watching FrenchTastic's vid's. I vaguely remember this 1. She'd never seen many live sports b4 & felt overwhelmed. I gave her a mulligan as a result.

Texas, Alabama, the South... yup, relaxed football atmospheres.😂 Nowhere in America has what you can call a relaxed football atmosphere, except maybe Alaska, which is the only State with no college football.

This is a little how I feel about NASCAR. I love watching it every Sunday (or Saturday night) from February to November. I have a track not too far from me that's rather popular. But I think, do I want to sit in the hot sun for 4 hours getting glimpses of your favorite driver's car? Or watch from home? And with NASCAR, you have to have ear protection or headphones so you can tune into your driver's coms (between driver & crew chief, etc). Some day, hopefully at a night race so I don't cook myself, I'll go to a race. But it's honestly so comfortable at home and you see everything.

If she hates loudness, she should never go to a NHRA DRAG RACE TRACK, if she does, she better have ear protection like ear muffs, loudest event in sports.

You can film in the stadium, but not the actual full game because the NFL owns the rights. If you have a minute or two of different plays in your video that’s okay. Fans loudness is part of the game, it helps encourage the team. Food and drinks at stadiums is usually expensive, some stadiums have specials. For instance the Seattle Sounders (Major League Soccer) share Lumen Field with the Seattle Seahawks. They offer what’s called a value meal; the Full 90 Combo (2 Hotdogs, 2 Waters, 1 large Popcorn) for $12.00. Some stadiums do allow you to bring some snacks in, and water if it’s a plastic bottle. You really have to go to the individual stadium’s website and look at what’s allowed and what isn’t and they will usually have a menu of food and beverages so you have an idea before you go what the cost will be. Also you need to check the weather forecast so you can be prepared for the weather conditions. Yes football is a game with a lot of strategies. If you can’t stand loud fans, bring earplugs. Your view depends on where you sit and during exciting plays, people will stand up, especially if the home team scores a touchdown and the same happens at college games. All in all, I think she should avoid attending American sports, football, soccer, baseball, basketball, and hockey games because she’s not going to enjoy it.

Okay everyone show a little class she's a girl that doesn't really know much about football and if no one told her she wasn't expecting to pay $6 for a water she is a really sweet reactor does it the first time I've ever heard of say anything negative so give her a chance I think her first sporting event was to a baseball game and it was pouring down the rain but she was still excited so she just needs to know a few things up front otherwise great reaction Andre😊 ROLL TIDE🏈🏈

She's should stay away from all live events 😂

The whole video was of her talking. Grrr.

Americans are louder then probably most of the rest of the world but honestly.... Most of the things she complained about are things she should have expected.. We football fans in general are a bit crazy. 😂 I guess the whole football game thing just isn't for her. 🤷🏻‍♀

1:11 That's definitely not Texas my friend 😂 That's DC

Andre if you have trouble with noise levels! Bring yourself noise canceling earbuds. There are better experiences of American football, I wonder if she's been to a European soccer match I hear they're pretty loud too! I'm sorry she didn't have a better experience! She's a good creator and I like her I hope she has another opportunity to go to a better experience!

College Football fans aren't much different that pro football fans in terms of noise and enthusiasm. Some states don't have pro football teams, but have college teams.

I usually don't watch anyone react to this girl's videos and now I remember why. I had to stop before five minutes.

I appreciate her honesty

She’s clearly not a sports fan. I’m not much of one myself. Yes, you can see the game better on TV, but being there you can get caught up in the energy of the crowd. Plus at college games there’s lots extra stuff, like at a nearby college the ROCT students come out and do pushups for every point scored whenever the home team scores. I wonder if she had gone with someone familiar with going to football games would she have had a better time.

Stadium food is incredibly expensive

They are screaming so the opposing team cant hear the quarterback.

American football is all about strategy. As for her complaints.. I suppose she wanted it to be rainy and cold, have no fans in the seats and no energy from what little crowd showed up? What on earth? That aside, I'm glad you got a look at what it's like in the stadium during a game! ETA: I totally agree with her on the prices for things though. Especially for water.. no one should be charged $6 for water on a hot day in a place where they weren't allowed to bring their own.

Yo Andre you should react to coverage of the storm that ripped through Houston in the last couple of hours. Reports are saying 1 million+ without power and also some fatalitites.

The flag... we have one here that is the biggest I've ever seen and I've been all over the country. It's massive, and no I'm not in Texas, that one in the video is average sized for companies and government buildings. There are also helicopters everywhere, I have some that fly over my house at least once a week. Statium food is always overpriced because you can't leave to go get food elsewhere so they are betting on you buying it anyway.

She needs to go to the ballet. Trust and believe if she goes to a game in December, she will be complaining it's too cold. And as many people have said, one of the reasons people tailgates is so they can bring their own food & drinks and then don't have to buy inside. She's lucky she didn't go to a Kansas City Chiefs game if she is sensitive to noise. It has the loudest recorded cheer in the NFL. I have to say I have seen other videos from her and not a fan. Her camera work is always shaky and she takes forever to get her thoughts out.

I feel like she is getting some negative comments, and that is not fair! She is from a different country and maybe if we went to her country we would find something’s different. She is giving her opinion, let’s be nice and explain why things are different rather than being negative to her! I think she is darling and being honest in her opinions!❤ also just an FYI I am 4’ 9” and have been to NFL, NHL, MBA and NBA games and see just fine. Even children can actually see.

When you go to a game, everything is expensive so you have to be ready for that. I went to a baseball game this past summer with my dad in Seattle, Red Sox vs Mariners. Got 2 tickets around the 3rd baseline and each cost about $85. Parking $60. 2 Hotdogs and 2 sodas were about $20-25. Got some souvenir's for about $50. So on and so on. There are ways you could make it much cheaper like if you got much cheaper seats which depending on the game can go as low as about $10 each in the nosebleeds. As well as taking mass transit over there.

No one buys much food or drinks at a game they bring their own. Especially water.

Check out Jeb Brooks taking the Amtrak train from Chicago to San Francisco The California Zypher

She went to a commanders game. If she thought that was loud or bad hope she never goes to a good team or big stadium or a college football game. She’s obviously clueless on sports

flags are that big everywhere here in the states....you can film yourself but you can't record the game itself in entirety cus of copyright....no if they have concession stands then you can't bring in drinks or food & yes it's extremely expensive that's why people tailgate & have football parties....seeing a game in person & on TV is completely different....no college games would be crazier....seems like she has anxiety so she didn't have a good time....there's plenty other people that have videos of football to react to....Tennessee Titans & Washington Commanders are NFL teams....there's a German guy that reacted to a really good football tutorial video that you should react to as well

the funniest thing about this episode is that the Washington Commanders might be the most NFL team and surely among the worst gamed experiences in the country across any sport

2:41 I love Marie, but what is she talking about? You can film wherever you want at a football game.

Football is much better on TV. Went to one NFL game and a couple of college games, but did not have a good time. Now, I stay home and save a couple of hundred dollars.

She might prefer baseball.

The water is $6 because the billionaires who own the teams have to make money somehow.

ANYTHING you buy at an NFL game is ridiculously over-priced . It's MUCH BETTER ( and less expensive ) to watch the games on tv

Who complains about it being too loud at a sporting event? Ohhhh French people!!!

If you want to see a stadium, come to the AZ Cardinals… sure they sucked last year and the previous years, however sell outs all the time…. Good times, great fan base here…. Wouldn’t recommend coming in the summer, unless you like the heat…. Cheers from Glendale, AZ!!!

The College games where you can bring your own drinks is the Military Academies! BYOCB! Bring Your Own Camel Backs. To make money, they bid for the space with the league and location, then you want to profit from it, so $5 Cokes and beers aren’t out of line. Tennessee Titans (Houston,TX Oilers) and Washington D.C. Commanders (Red Skins).

I agree that the best seat for a game is at home as far as comfort and all that. But, to truly experience an NFL game you really need to go. The atmosphere is just so unbelievable 🎉❤
