16 students from the Visualization Department of Texas A&M University have been in Bonn since mid-January. Although they have become acquainted with the German culture quite well, one important thing was still missing: attendance at a soccer game. Most of the students have been to games of their college football team, which usually plays in front of a crowd of 83,000. Nevertheless, the students greatly enjoyed the atmosphere they got to experience during the stand-off between Fortuna Düsseldorf and local rival MSV Duisburg. Unbeaten at home (8-2-0) Düsseldorf maintained its clean record and won 2:0 with 48,500 people attending the sold out home stadium.
