The preparations for the first away game of the new EuroLeague season - against one of the top title favorites, Panathinaikos BC (Thursday, 8:15 PM) - have been dominating the immediate present of the FC Bayern Basketball squad since Tuesday morning. But the players of the German Cup winners are also constantly confronted with the future , since many of them can observe the progress on the Munich Olympic Park on their daily commute along the Mittlerer Ring on the way to the BMW Park. The SAP Garden, which will be the second venue for FC Bayern Basketball starting next year, is already well underway in its foundations, and the interior is also taking shape - the team had the opportunity to see this for themselves during a visit to the construction site of the arena.

Equipped with helmets and safety shoes provided by FCBB's workwear partner HAIX, the team first received a virtual tour of the future home venue of Bayern basketball besides the BMW Park in the Experience Center next to the SAP Garden. This was followed by a tour of the construction site up to the interior where dribbling and dunking are expected to take place from the summer of 2024. Explanations were provided by former championship captain Steffen Hamann, who has been serving as a brand ambassador for Bayern basketball since this season. "It's already impressive, and you get a good idea of what an amazing arena it will be," said FCBB veteran Devin Booker. "I can't wait to play here next year."
FC Bayern Basketball is expected to play approximately 20 home games at the SAP Garden as tenants in the 2024/2025 season, mainly in the EuroLeague. The EHC Red Bull Munich will also move in there completely. All other FCBB home games will take place in the BMW Park.
For those who want to get a glimpse of the new super arena before its completion, the Experience Center is available in close proximity to the SAP Garden. Free visit appointments can be booked through the FCBB website.
