"Extraordinary stadium experience"
"We are proud that this project will start at the end of September with a very special kind of sports experience," says René Dimter, Managing Director of Red Bull Stadion München GmbH, the developer of SAP Garden. "We can promise all future visitors an extraordinary stadium experience in one of the most modern sports arenas in Europe," Dimter continues.
The SAP Garden can accommodate up to 11,500 spectators. The main building, which measures 29 metres from the ice surface to the hall ceiling, would fit the Munich Victory Gate. From the 2024/25 season, all EHC Red Bull Munich home games will be played here. It will also host at least 20 FC Bayern Basketball home games and up to 40 sporting or sports-related events every year.
This also includes three ice sports areas that can be used all year round with a total ice surface of around 5,400 square metres, which are designed for both training and recreational sports and can be operated independently of the main building. In addition to ice hockey, Olympic sports such as figure skating, short track and curling can also be practised here for training purposes. One of the three ice rinks has a capacity of 600 spectators, while the other two rinks can accommodate 200 people each. The entire building complex, including the main playing area, has a gross floor area of more than 70,000 square metres, with a total usable area of an impressive 22,500 square metres.
Advance ticket sales for the ice hockey and basketball match are expected to start in May this year. From May, all interested parties can also register for the "Open House Day" on the website www.sapgarden.com.
