Venues
Olympic ice stadium
The basketball department of FC Bayern Munich wore their home games until 2010 near the club grounds out in the Municipal Sports Hall Sabener road. After the rise of the men's team in the Pro A league whose capacity, however, no longer met the licensing requirements of the AG second basketball league of gentlemen eV and it had to be found a new home. In the negotiations with the city of Munich, the club initially sought a move to the Rudi - Sedlmayer Hall, the venue for the basketball competitions at the 1972 Summer Olympics, at. However, these plans could not be due to the need for renovation and conversion work at first realize. Instead, they moved further ado, the Olympic ice stadium where, since 2002, the Hockey Team EHC München is located. Because of the double occupancy, the sports venue had to be converted to the single game days each to a basketball hall with a capacity of 4,000 seats. The cost of this has contributed to much of the club. For the discharge of the top game of the season 2010/ 11 against the s.Oliver Baskets Würzburg in February 2011 it was agreed specifically with the Munich Olympic Park GmbH to use the 12,500 -seat Olympic Hall.
Audi Dome
As part of the re- ascent of 2011, the venue issue moved back on the agenda, as was expected in the Bundesliga with increased viewing figures. The initially favored by the association permanent use of the Olympic Hall could not be realized due to their regular assignment with other events in the game week ends. Therefore, we negotiated with the City of Munich again about a move to the Rudi - Sedlmayer Hall. The subject of the recent discussions was also a possible redevelopment with a value of 1.5 million euros and a transfer of the registered rights to the rest of the club to their refinancing. After the positive outcome of the negotiations, the club signed in May 2011 a corresponding lease so that the Rudi - Sedlmayer Hall Bayern basket hunters used after completion of the renovation work in September 2011 as a new home. After the car manufacturer Audi had acquired in July 2011, the naming rights to the hall, it was renamed the Audi Dome.
