The result is a long, rising, curved plinth that imparts a sense of excitement for spectators as they approach the glowing stadium destination emerging over the horizon. The team decided to conceal the 12 000 parking spaces beneath a planted plaza deck stretching from the rail station to the main entrance (Fig 4). The enclosure design evolved from a basket-like arrangement of woven ribbon elements to diamond-shaped ETFE pillows patterned in similar fashion to the Bavarian flag.Īllianz Arena photo : Ulrich Rossmann-ArupĪs the site is some distance from the city centre, and near a major motorway, a huge car park was needed, as well as a rail station. This simple but very effective idea makes the stadium immediately identifiable. The most striking – and currently unique – feature is the façade, made of ETFE (a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene), which can be illuminated in the colours of whichever home team is playing. The design team aimed, therefore, for a visual impact that would be undiminished if the moving roof was not built – of all eight finalists this was the only one with this approach. The competition called for a 66 000-seat arena with a closing roof, but it was immediately clear that this brief and the budget were not compatible. ArupSport and the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron joined a team led by Alpine Bau and HVB Immobilien Management GmbH, and secured the job despite strong competition from architects such as German-based Gerkan/Marg (runner-up), Foster, Murphy/Jahn, and Eisenmann. In 2001 a design competition was instigated by the two clubs and the city council. Designed and built purely as a football stadium, it will also host the opening ceremony and initial game on 9 June for the 2006 World Cup, as well as five subsequent matches including the second semi-final on 5 July. It opened in May 2005, replacing the city’s old Olympic Stadium as the new home to the football clubs Bayern Munich, in 1 Bundesliga, and TSV 1860 Munich, in 2 Bundesliga. The Allianz Arena in Munich design by Herzog & de Meuron Architects sets a new architectural milestone in stadium design. But although the mix and standard of facilities can have a significant impact on the user’s experience, the key to a stadium’s success is its heart – the viewing bowl. Modern stadia have become complex and sophisticated buildings, providing a range of facilities for spectators, the media, participants, and operators. In the modern world, where image is critical, it can also significantly increase the brand values of a stadium and its sporting team. The events are held in memory of protests by gay people in New York in 1969.Ī new football stadium for Munich, Germanyĭesign: Herzog & de Meuron Architects with ArupSportĭramatic, exciting, and iconic architecture enhances and amplifies everyone’s experience. It suggested either 28 June – the Christopher Street Liberation Day – or 3-9 July which is the Christopher Street Day week in Munich. In a statement, European football’s governing body said: “Uefa understands that the intention is also to send a message to promote diversity and inclusion – a cause, which Uefa has been supporting for many years – having joined forces with European clubs, national teams and their players, launching campaigns and plenty of activities all over Europe to promote the ethos that football should be open to everyone.Įuropean football’s governing body has instead proposed alternative dates for the stadium, home to Bayern Munich, to be lit up in rainbow colours. Mayor Dieter Reiter described Uefa’s decision as “shameful”.

Uefa says it denied the request because of the “political context”. Munich mayor Dieter Reiter made the request in protest against a new law in Hungary that bans the sharing of any content seen as promoting homosexuality and gender change to under-18s. The Union of European Football Associations ( UEFA) has declined a request to light up the Allianz Arena in rainbow colours before Germany’s Euro 2020 match against Hungary on Wednesday, report the BBC today.
