EUROBIGGAME 2015
Held in Mahlwinkel (East Germany) on the grounds of a former Soviet Union Air Base, the EuroBigGame
should be a bucket list event for any serious baller living in Europe. Mahlwinkel Air Base, located about 90
minutes from Berlin and just a few hours’ drive the Poland and the Czech Republic, was home to one of the
Russian Mi-24 helicopter fleets during the Cold War. It was the main airport that the Soviets used to refuel
their bombers to attack NATO forces and to provide their troops with all the necessities to battle Western
Europe. And now, more than twenty years after the base closed it looks as if it was a causality of war, which
only adds to the atmosphere and gives players a taste of what it must have been like all those years ago.
