VIDEO: How the "SAP Garden" got its nameInterview with namesake Manfred// NEWSWe are in the opening year of SAP Gardens. In 2024, after a good four years of construction, top-class sport in Munich will find a new home in the Olympiapark. Despite all the anticipation, one thing became clear very quickly: the name.

In the run-up to construction, a name was sought for the new arena in the Bavarian capital in the form of a tender. A favorite quickly emerged from the many suggestions. Sports fan Manfred christened Munich's new landmark "SAP Garden".

"The 'SAP Arena' already exists - the 'Audi Dome' even exists in Munich. These names were already out of the question. The green roof then gave me the idea: let's call it 'SAP Garden'. That sounds modern and does justice to all types of sport," explains Manfred.

Of course, there is also a thank you for the help in finding a name. Manfred receives a season ticket for all EHC Red Bull Munich games and FC Bayern Basketball games in the arena he named.
