New Bayern stadium: explosive plans revealed | OneFootball

In search of a new venue for their women’s team, FC Bayern almost considered purchasing the Grünwalder Stadion. Ultimately, however, the stadium where archrival 1860 Munich plays its matches is not an option.

The FC Bayern officials want to buy a new stadium for their women’s team. With only 2,500 seats, the one at the campus is far too small, while the Allianz Arena (for most games) is much too large. Expanding the campus stadium is not possible, as the city of Munich has put a stop to that.

According to kicker, Bayern’s bosses even considered, at one point, acquiring the stadium on Grünwalder Straße, the home of TSV 1860 Munich. Such a move would likely have caused a major outcry in Munich and the football world. However, due to the dilapidated condition of the facility, this option was quickly dismissed.

The preferred solution at the moment is the Sportpark in Unterhaching. Compared to the Grünwalder, it is in significantly better condition. Theoretically, in the future, the record champions’ second team could also play their matches there—at the latest, if they return to the 3rd division.

So far, there has been no official word from internal club circles regarding the plans, nor from SpVgg Unterhaching, who currently play their home games at the Sportpark. For them, nothing would really change if Bayern were to buy the stadium. Only the account number to which the rent is transferred would be different. At present, it still goes to the municipality of Unterhaching.

According to Munich’s tz, SpVgg would also be amenable to a sale of the Sportpark. With a purchase price of 7.56 million euros, set by an appraiser, the facility could turn out to be a real bargain for Bayern. For comparison: for a player like Sacha Boey, they paid about four times as much. The deal is not yet finalized, but all parties are optimistic that an agreement will be reached.
