Bayern join their fans on Saturday to celebrate winning a 24th German championship, and a record-breaking one at that, as no team has ever wrapped up the Bundesliga title at an earlier point in the season. The programme for the day starts before the meeting with VfB Stuttgart and continues after the match.
Saturday's schedule:
1:30 pm: Allianz Arena opens. FC Bayern requests fans to attend the match in Tracht (traditional Bavarian costume) to give the title celebrations a worthy setting. Brass ensembles and Bavarian Goaßlschnalzer (whip crackers) will contribute to the mia-san-mia atmosphere.
