Demolition and new arena

It will be the new home of the ice hockey club EHC Red Bull München and the basketball team of Bayern Munich. The construction of the new arena should begin in the winter of 2019 with the groundbreaking ceremony. In the late summer of 2021, the SAP Garden should be completed. The new building is designed by Danish architects 3XN. The costs are borne by the owner of the EHC Red Bull München, the Red Bull GmbH.^[1]
