The Hertha U23 team and AmateurstadionOn a mistly mid November Sunday we went to an U23 match against Carl Zeiss Jena. There was a great atmosphere, a little less polished than the main stadium perhaps but you felt really part of the game being that close. You can go down and high five the players at the end of the match if you like! |

The Berlin Derby - 11/02/2013I was lucky enough to attend the Berlin derby match at the Olympiastadion between Hertha BSC and Union Berlin in Feb. 2013. A wonderful experience but the first 70 minutes were a little nerve racking - Oh my god.
But, good things come to who those who wait and Hertha staged an epic comeback after being 0:2 down in the 75th minutes to win a point after leveling at 2:2 after goals from both Ramos and Ronny |
