Snapshot of the German Bundesliga
The 18-team Bundesliga has the highest per-game attendance of any football league in the world. The average crowd of 41,000 is 5,000 higher than the premier league. These attendances are achieved by low ticket prices, and huge stadiums (many with safe standing areas). Unlike other European Football leagues, Bundesliga teams are required to be majority-owned by German club members (known as the 50+1 rule). This rule effectively prohibits private ownership by foreign billionaires, but there are 'grey areas'.
Bayern Munich are the most successful team with 33 Championships, and they are currently in a period of absolute domination - having won the last 11 titles. The 2nd most successful Bundesliga team (FC Nürnberg) has less than one-third of their titles.
