"Isn't that expensive?" Subotic asked, also curious.
A massive tifo like that looks incredibly expensive.
"Well, if you're talking about cost, it's definitely costly, but the real cost isn't money. It's the organizational effort."
As the most die-hard Dortmund fan and a local, Reus was clearly an expert on these matters.
"Take that giant '20,' for example. It's actually made of over 25,000 small placards. There are companies that specialize in making them, and it costs about 10,000 euros."
Wang Shuo was a little surprised.
'Only 10,000 euros for a spectacle of this scale?'
"The South Stand has two or three hundred local fan organizations. Usually, they just put out a call, and the fans are eager to donate. The money gets raised in no time. So, collecting over ten thousand euros is really not difficult at all."
"In fact, from what I know, the South Stand's fan organizations have a huge donation fund on hand—maybe tens of thousands of euros—specifically for making tifos."
