About Allianz Arena
The Allianz Arena is a football stadium in Munich, Bavaria, Germany with a 75,000 seating capacity. Widely known for its exterior of inflated ETFE plastic panels, it is the first stadium in the world with a full color-changing exterior. Located at the northern edge of Munich's Schwabing-Freimann borough on the Fröttmaning Heath, it is the second-largest arena in Germany behind Westfalenstadion in Dortmund.
Since the start of the 2005–06 season, Bayern Munich has played its home games at the Allianz Arena. The stadium has hosted matches from the 2006 FIFA World Cup and served as the venue for the 2012 UEFA Champions League Final. The facade can be lit in red for Bayern Munich games, white for German national team games, and previously blue for TSV 1860 Munich games.
The luminous exterior makes the stadium visible from the Austrian Alps on clear nights, some 80 kilometers (50 miles) away. Inside, the three-tier seating structure ensures excellent sightlines from every angle. The acoustic design amplifies the noise of the "Südkurve," creating an intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams.
