Ice hockey fans strolled enthusiastically around the stadium and took in their first impressions of the new multifunctional arena in the Olympic Park, while some others stocked up on exclusive Grand Opening merchandise in the fan stores. Hungry and thirsty guests explored the wide range of catering options, while gamers paid a visit to the new Gaming Garden. In short: a colourful programme for everyone.
Ice hockey spectacle at the Grand Opening Game
Ice hockey was also played, of course. And how! The Red Bulls and the Buffalo Sabres put on an ice hockey festival in front of numerous personalities from politics and sport - including Joachim Herrmann (Bavarian State Minister of the Interior, Sport and Integration), Dieter Reiter (Lord Mayor of the City of Munich), Germany's record-breaking national football player Lothar Matthäus and many more.
