Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund: 2026/27 Bundesliga full coverage
see all updates
Following Bayern Munich’s 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund, work will begin at the Allianz Arena to transform the stadium for the NFL matchup between the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots on November 15.
Once the NFL game is over, grounds crews will have just five days to remove the existing playing surface and install a new pitch before Bayern Munich plays FC Köln in the Bundesliga.
That is a tight turnaround, but Allianz Arena manager Jürgen Muth is not particularly concerned about the schedule.
“We know it will work well in such a short time,” Muth told Deutsche Presse-Agentur (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), noting that a hybrid pitch will be used because it is relatively easy to install.
However, there will be no time to waste. The removal of the existing surface must begin immediately after the NFL game to ensure everything is ready for Bayern’s return.
Five days to replace an entire pitch afteran NFL game—just another week of stadium maintenance at the Allianz Arena!
