SAP Garden
SAP Garden is a planned 11,500-capacity indoor arena, to be build in Oympiapark, Munich. It is expected to be completed in 2022 at the earliest. The site will be build at the location of the former Radstadion which was demolished in 2015. It will become home ground for ice hockey team EHC Red Bull Munich and basketball team Bayern Munich.History
Plans for a new indoor arena arose primary from the wish of a new home arena for ice hockey team EHC Red Bull Munich who currently play at the Olympia Eishalle which was opened five years prior to the 1972 Olympic Games. In addition, BBL-team Bayern Munich, playing at the Olympic basketball arena, requested for a modern arena. In December 2014, the city-council of Munich announced a bidding for the new arena to be build at the location of the Radstadion.
In 2019, it was reported that SAP gained naming rights for the arena. To avoid misunderstanding with the SAP Arena in Mannheim, three naming proposals have been made to be voted under hashtag #NameGameOn: SAP Live, SAP Park and SAP Garden. Groundbreaking was originally announced to take place in winter 2019, however has so far not taken place, and construction is scheduled to start at the beginning of 2020.
