Week 5 – Short Recap

What can I say? Apart from the usual luggage issue, there were really no challenges this time. Somehow everything just went smoothly. Ok, not quite true. Leaving at 7:30am is always unpleasant for a weekend. But later in the season it was (unfortunately) nothing special.

Frankfurt Scale *

Sleeping in the hotel lobby … deserves a point! +

The Frankfurt Scale is a scale I invented that expresses how antisocial the behavior is. Many factors play a role here, why Frankfurt Scale? More on this later.

So no matter where they play, the Ravens are always good for a visit. They treat you really well, the team is approachable and the conditions are always good. The Flixbus to Nuremberg is of course a dream, as it leaves right on our doorstep. Otherwise we would certainly have taken the train. But for once it was a really relaxed weekend.

JUST SHOTS RATING 94/100

• The Max Morlock Stadium is really impressive. +
• The organization of the Ravens was top notch +
• Food and drink for the press “far beyond” just a snack and water +++
• As always, great people at the Ravens +
• Spectacle at the run-in +
• Lots of specials and a cool power party around the event +

It was an absolutely wonderful weekend, we didn’t have to sleep on the bus, didn’t have to freshen up in a restroom and had a thoroughly well-rounded event in Nuremberg. The Ravens really outdid themselves (and that was hard, because they have a very high standard anyway). We were thrilled and although the Ravens are always worth a visit, this event really stood out.

Of course, we always write from the perspective of photographers who are guests at a franchise. In general, however, there is always a lot of overlap with the impressions of a “normal” visitor.
