New England Patriots Bring Legendary Tour to LIQUI MOLY Motorrad Grand Prix
The New England Patriots are activating their “Legendary Tour” at the LIQUI MOLY Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland at the Sachsenring from July 10 to July 12. The NFL franchise is utilizing the German MotoGP event to engage fans through an interactive container in the Fan Zone, featuring team memorabilia and activities as part of their promotional efforts ahead of their November 15 regular-season game against the Detroit Lions in Munich.
Patriots Fan Engagement at the Sachsenring

The New England Patriots have established a presence at the Sachsenring to connect with the German fanbase. According to the [ADAC](https://www.adac-motorsport.de), the team’s “Legendary Tour” includes a branded container where visitors can experience the team’s history and atmosphere.
The activation serves as a bridge between two major sports properties: the NFL and the MotoGP. The Sachsenring event, which has grown into one of Germany’s largest single-sport gatherings, provides the Patriots with a platform to build momentum ahead of their upcoming international fixture. The team is scheduled to face the Detroit Lions in Munich on November 15, marking their second regular-season appearance on German soil.
Interactive Fan Experiences and “Holy Grass”
The Patriots’ activation at the Sachsenring focuses on hands-on participation. A central feature of the tour is the inclusion of a section of turf from the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. Following the final playoff game of the previous season, the stadium replaced its playing surface in preparation for the FIFA World Cup. A portion of that turf was transported to Germany, allowing fans to play Cornhole on the same surface previously used by Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and his teammates.
Additional activities at the Patriots container include:
* Quarterback Challenge: An area for fans to test their passing accuracy.
* Patriots Photobox: A station for fans to capture images in team-themed gear.
* Mascot Appearances: Pat Patriot is present in the paddock to sign autographs and interact with attendees.
Future International Expansion for the NFL
The presence of the New England Patriots at the Sachsenring reflects the NFL’s broader strategy to increase its footprint in Germany. German Patriots legend Sebastian Vollmer noted that the “Legendary Tour” is designed to build excitement for the upcoming Munich game and provide fans with a unique, tangible connection to the team’s home stadium.
The collaboration between the Patriots and the Motorrad Grand Prix is intended to be the first of several joint activities. By integrating into the high-energy environment of the MotoGP, the Patriots aim to reach a broader demographic of sports enthusiasts, leveraging the passion of the German motorsport community to cultivate new NFL fans ahead of the mid-November matchup.
