The SAP Garden will be full for the first time at the Grand Opening Game. The 10,796 tickets for the game between EHC Red Bull München and the Buffalo Sabres as part of the ‘2024 NHL Global Series Challenge Germany presented by Fastenal’ were sold out in no time at all - just a few months before the match.
As part of the grand opening of the SAP Garden, the Buffalo Sabres will make a guest appearance at the Red Bulls' new home arena. This will be the second time in the NHL's history that the Bavarian state capital has hosted the Sabres. In 1990, the Edmonton Oilers visited Munich and won 8:4 against the EC Hedos München. 34 years later, the Buffalo Sabres will follow. This will be EHC Red Bull München's first meeting with a team from the best and most famous ice hockey league in the world.
Viewing day on Saturday
On the day after the game, all Munich residents can get a first, lasting impression of the new multifunctional sports arena in Munich's Olympic Park during a viewing day. Visitors can look forward to various show performances that document the variety of uses of the SAP Gardens. Further information on the programme for this day will follow.
