Don54 25,517 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 seems this was the reason.Spectators who had already arrived at the HDI-Arena were told via loudspeaker that the game had been cancelled.Police officers secured a scene at Robert-Enke-Strasse after finding a suspicious piece of luggage.The announcement was made an hour and a half before kick-off.Chancellor Angela Merkel was due to attend the match to send a signal that Germany would not bow to terrorism in the wake of the Paris attacks.
