Now it's official: The Grand Opening of FC Bayern Basketball at the SAP Garden on Thursday, October 3rd, offers fans a spectacular opponent to kick off the new EuroLeague season with the star-studded ensemble of Real Madrid. The game starts at 8:45 PM, and alongside the highlight match of the Champions League, there will be a large supporting program around the SAP Garden premiere of the double winners, including a surprise concert after the game.
