There were\u00a0nearly 100,000 people at the Cotton Bowl <\/a>Saturday, but there probably weren’t many having more fun than F<\/a>reddy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The German soccer fan and social media personality who went viral over the summer during his North American travels during the World Cup <\/a>made a stop in Dallas <\/a>for the Red River Rivalry game between the No. 1 Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners. He brought his typical openness and enjoyment of American culture to the most Texan place on Earth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don’t know why I’ve never heard about this stadium before, but this looks iconic,” Freddy posted from the Cotton Bowl on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to watching the game, Freddy posted a photo of a hot dog he ordered at the fairgrounds. He posted a video of Big Tex.<\/p>\n

Freddy watched Texas high school football Friday night, dropping in for the Life High\u00a0School\u00a0Waxahachie versus\u00a0Kaufman High School game. He tried to go to a different high school football game before, but it was sold out, he wrote on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Everyone told us we had to experience Texas high school football, so we decided to check it out,” he wrote. He later called witnessing a high school football game “a cool experience.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Dallas stop comes after more than a month on the road for Freddy. He has been traveling through the United States since early September, and Texas-OU marked his fourth college football game so far. Before Red River, he went to games between Iowa and Iowa State, Auburn and Florida and LSU and Texas A&M as part of his fall tour.<\/p>\n
