MVG Approves Capacity Increase Of Munich's Allianz Arena To 75,000

Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena "will increase its capacity and is expected to welcome 75,000 fans to home games during the second half of the Bundesliga season," according to SPORT1. As a result the Allianz Arena "would surpass Berlin's Olympic Stadium as the second largest stadium in Germany." Munich's Public Transportation Company (MVG) "has finally approved the increase." MVG spokesperson Matthias Korte: "We don't have any concerns regarding the capacity increase anymore." The MVG had some concerns about the capacity increase as it doubted Munich's subway system "could handle the additional amount of fans." Currently, the Allianz Arena has a capacity of 71,168 for Bundesliga and domestic Cup games. For int'l matches the arena's capacity is 67,858 and would increase to 69,344 (SPORT1, 12/18).
