MUNICH -- The NFL's inaugural regular-season game in Germany created an economic impact of 70.2 million euros ($77.6 million) for host city Munich, the league said Wednesday.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Seattle Seahawks 21-16 last November at a sold out Allianz Arena, and this coming season two regular-season games will be held in Germany.
The economic figures highlighted the release of the league's "Munich Game Impact Assessment" report.
"The economic and social impact generated from our first regular-season game is impressive and underlines the positive contribution the game had on the city of Munich and beyond, and we look ahead to playing future games in the country in the coming years," Alexander Steinforth, the NFL's general manager for Germany, said in the league's statement.
