In his column for the latest edition of club journal Bayern Magazin, published prior to the home meeting with1899 Hoffenheim, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge makes an important and highly positive announcement: All debts, loans and costs related to the construction of the Allianz Arena have been “paid off in full,” the FCB chairman declares, “all that remains is a very small sum due to technical procedures.” The costs were originally scheduled to be paid down over a 25-year period, “but we’ve actually paid for the stadium in only nine and a half years,” Rummenigge continued, “and this has been achieved without a single Euro in subsidy from federal funds, the state of Bavaria or the city of Munich.”
