What’s not to love about this club?
For those readers with young children–have you had problems finding just the right daycare or nursery in your area? For those readers without children–have you raged how you got stuck watching your snotty-nosed nephews on a “Parent’s Night Out” weekend when your favorite team was in town for a game?
In Hamburg beginning next week, both of these problems get solved in a crazy awesome fashion.
The Kult Club FC St Pauli will be opening a nursey–capable of handling 100 kids up to age 6–in its stadium on November 15th. The daycare, named the “Pirate’s Nest,” will also be open on matchdays, so parents can drop off their little ones in the Nest and attend the match while they enjoy their beer and sausages delivered by a model train.
Granted, the Millerntor Stadion looks like a dump and I would likely be concerned about whether my youngling would be struck in the head by some falling tiles or exposed to some yummy chemicals that seeped through the old plumbing. This is still an outside-the-box type of idea.
Let’s just hope the children that are brought to this facility aren’t reared to become true pirates and develop early gum disease, scurvy, or have to apply for peg legs.
Although I do hope that each day during the children’s “Music Time” they have to hop around to AC/DC’s Hell’s Bells. That just has to happen.
the only thing better than this is on-site day care at ski resorts.
@whiz – those do indeed exist, and are fabulous (although we just strapped a board to their feet and they go downhill fine).

The best part about this is you don’t have to buy your kids a ticket to the match, but they still get to tag along – so you don’t have to worry about them getting crushed by crowds while IN the stands, just when you’re leaving the stadium. Timing is half the battle.

p.s. Anonsters – you on the sausage train?
@MW: I AM the sausage train, baby.
/wait, what?
yeah, I live in CO. I’m hip.
I’m moving to Hamburg. Seriously, this is like my dream. Which tells all you young childless whippersnappers how much getting old sucks.
