Purpose/Function: The original purpose of constructing Allianz Arena was to build one of the most impressive stadiums in the world to host the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The citizens of Germany wanted to show off a brand new, state of the art arena during one of the most popular sporting events in the world and they passed a referendum to build it. It was decided that after the World Cup, the stadium would be home to major club teams in the Munich Area.
Users: The Stadium currently is home to two major club soccer teams in Germany: Bayern Munchen and TSV 1860 Munchen. It can hold up to 66,000 spectators and the seats are distributed among three rings of tiers. Because the stadium is home to two different teams, it was even designed to have multiple appearances. It can light up red, blue, white, or any combination of the three. The colors change depending on which team is playing in order to reflect the teams' colors.
