History
About Allianz Arena
The Allianz Arena opened on 30 May 2005 with an inaugural friendly between Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich, the two clubs that originally co-tenanted the ground. Designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron — the same practice responsible for Tate Modern in London and the Beijing National Stadium — the building was conceived as a freestanding object on the flat agricultural land of Fröttmaning, north of the city, and was the first stadium in the world clad entirely in inflated ETFE-foil panels. Originally intended as a shared venue, financial difficulties at 1860 Munich led the club to sell its stake to Bayern in 2006, and 1860 vacated the ground in 2017 — Bayern have been sole tenants ever since. Capacity has been progressively raised from the original 66,000 to the current 75,000, achieved largely by adding standing-only Bundesliga sections in the lower tiers (the standing capacity drops back for all-seater UEFA matches). The construction was funded jointly by both clubs and a long-term naming-rights deal with insurer Allianz that runs through 2041.
Seating layout
Allianz Arena seating plan & capacity
The Allianz Arena's three-tier bowl wraps continuously around the pitch with no corner gaps and a roof that covers all 75,000 seats — the architectural brief was zero rain exposure for any spectator. The lower tier converts between standing (Bundesliga) and seated (UEFA) configurations through a permanent rail-seat system that was among the first of its kind in a major European stadium. The first row sits close to the touchline and the upper tier's rake is calibrated to keep every seat within reasonable distance of the centre circle. Premium seats are concentrated along the East and West halfway-line midfield in the second tier. The Südkurve lower has the most vocal home support; the upper West has the most cinematic camera-side sight-lines.
Südkurve (South Curve)
Single-tier stand behind the south goal — the heart of Bayern Munich's vocal support and the headquarters of Schickeria München and the broader Bayern ultra movement. The stand reverts to standing-room for Bundesliga fixtures, lifting its capacity for league matches; for UEFA all-seater matches it converts to seated.
Nordkurve (North Curve)
Single-tier stand behind the opposite goal. Houses the away allocation in a corner section for European matches and home support across the rest of the curve.
Osttribüne (East Stand)
Three-tier side stand with main hospitality boxes and the players' tunnel. Houses the home and visiting dressing rooms on the lower concourse.
Westtribüne (West Stand)
Three-tier side stand opposite the East. Houses the directors' box, the press tribune and the main television gantry. The Bayern crest is fixed to the upper West façade.
Getting there
How to get to Allianz Arena
Allianz Arena is at 80939, Munich, Germany. Match-day travel is busiest from 90 minutes before kick-off — plan to arrive earlier than the gates open if you want to avoid queues.
- Metro / Tram
- Fröttmaning station (U6 line) is the dedicated stadium stop and a roughly 12-minute walk along the Esplanade pedestrian boulevard to the turnstiles. The U6 runs from Marienplatz in central Munich in around 15 minutes; matchday frequency is increased significantly.
- Train
- Munich Hauptbahnhof connects to Marienplatz via S-Bahn before the U6 transfer to Fröttmaning. Total Hauptbahnhof-to-stadium time is around 25 minutes.
- Bus
- MVG night-bus routes operate post-match for the late kick-offs; daytime Bundesliga fixtures rely on U6 capacity.
- Walk
- From Fröttmaning U-Bahn to the stadium: roughly 12 minutes along the dedicated Esplanade.
- Drive
- From the A9 autobahn (Munich-Nuremberg) take the Fröttmaning exit — the stadium is signposted from the slip road and visible from the autobahn.
- Parking
- Multi-storey stadium parking holds several thousand vehicles across colour-coded car parks; most matchday spaces are pre-bookable through the Allianz Arena website. Park-and-ride at outlying U-Bahn lots is the most popular alternative for fans avoiding the post-match exit queues.

On match-day
Match-day at Allianz Arena
Gates open well before kick-off (typically around 2 hours). The stadium is fully cashless and uses an in-stadium pre-loaded card system (Arena Card) for food and drink — buy and top up at the entrance kiosks. The Augustiner and Paulaner stands serve Munich's iconic local breweries on draught throughout the concourses; Augustiner Helles is the unofficial matchday beer. For the loudest atmosphere, the Südkurve lower (standing on Bundesliga matchdays); for the best sight-lines, the East upper midfield. Pre-match: the Esplanade between Fröttmaning U-Bahn and the stadium has rows of food and drink stalls operating from several hours before kick-off.
