SAP Garden becomes an EVVC memberNew arena in the Olympic Park now part of the European event industry network// CURRENTThe SAP Garden, Germany's new high-tech sports arena in Munich's Olympiapark, is now a member of the European Association of Event Centers (EVVC). The hall is operated by Red Bull München Stadion GmbH.The SAP Garden is one of the most modern and flexible arenas in Europe, located in the heart of the world-famous Olympiapark. Since fall 2024, the multifunctional sports venue has been the new home ground of four-time German ice hockey champions EHC Red Bull München and a regular venue for games of German basketball champions FC Bayern München. The SAP Garden also hosts up to 40 other sports and sports-related events every year - including major events such as the Beckenbauer Cup and the 2027 World Handball Championships.
But the arena is much more than just a venue for top-class sport. The state capital of Munich has secured long-term usage rights to the three additional underground ice rinks for school, club and popular sports. The junior teams of EHC Red Bull München also use the ice rinks for training and matches. This makes the SAP Garden an arena for everyone - 365 days a year.
The SAP Garden: A flexible and future-oriented arena
The venue also impresses with a unique dimension of fan experience and a future-oriented, authentic sustainability concept. The innovative, specially developed grandstand system allows the SAP Garden to flexibly adapt the interior and spectator stands for any sport or event. This ensures optimal sightlines for all guests at every event. With its numerous rooms of different sizes and equipment as well as its great flexibility in design, the SAP Garden also offers business and private events with 10 to 1,100 people the space they need.
A restaurant open to the public invites you to linger in a unique atmosphere. The arena, which houses several fan stores and Munich's first bookable gaming hub, is open all year round. With its green roof and architecture embedded in the park, the SAP Garden is also an ecological and urban development showcase project.
Oliver Wesp, Managing Director of Red Bull Stadion München GmbH: "Being accepted into the EVVC is both a great recognition and an incentive for us. With the SAP Garden, we have created an arena that combines top-class sport, innovation and sustainability at the highest level - and which is accessible to everyone thanks to its concept. The exchange within the EVVC network provides valuable impetus to further develop our venue in the future."
René Tumler, Managing Director of the European Association of Event Centers e. V.: "With the SAP Garden, we welcome a state-of-the-art arena to our association that is exemplary for sustainable event venues. The combination of architectural quality, technical innovation and social openness makes the SAP Garden a real asset for the EVVC network - and for the event industry as a whole."
Membership ensures a stronger presence for the city
With the SAP Garden as its twelfth Munich member venue alongside the venues of Messe München, the Olympic Park, the Gasteig, the Muffathalle and the Showpalast, the EVVC is strengthening the presence of the Bavarian capital. Within the association, the arena operated by Red Bull Stadion München GmbH will be part of AG III, the working group of the largest event venues.
The EVVC represents around 600 event centers, congress centers, arenas and special event locations in Europe. Event planners and suppliers complete the spectrum and make the EVVC the most versatile network in the industry. It offers its members and partners a platform for trusting and open communication, important information and support for their daily work as well as impulses for industry-relevant topics of the present and future. The basic premise is the commitment to sustainable action and the implementation of corresponding measures.
