EHC Red Bull München: The SAP Garden lettering is mounted

Friday, 30. August 2024 | EHC Red Bull München: The SAP Garden lettering is mounted

SAP Garden lettering is installed // SAP GARDENJust under a month before the opening game between Red Bull München and the Buffalo Sabres, the lettering has been installed on the SAP Garden. In the west and east, the illuminated letters welcome visitors to the new Munich landmark.

In the west and east, the lettering welcomes visitors to the new Munich landmark. The application of the lettering on the west side in particular presented a few hurdles.

"The challenge in attaching the logos on the west side is that we are on the roof of the three underground training areas. The substrate only has limited load-bearing capacity. We were therefore only able to use a small riser and had to hoist the large parts onto the facade from the street using a crane", explains Martin Beutl from Stadelmayer GmbH, the company responsible for the project.

How the SAP Garden lettering came to be on the facade

The SAP Garden logo is mounted at a height of around 15 meters. One logo hangs on the east side above the main entrance, the other on the west side above the three underground ice rinks. With a height of 2.63 meters and a width of 12.28 meters, the two logos each weigh around 600 kilograms, including the mount.

"It feels like we're on the way to the delivery room at full throttle with our baby SAP Garden," says Oliver Wesp, Business Director Red Bull Stadion München GmbH, about the installation of the lettering.

How the SAP Garden got its name

But how did the new Munich landmark get its name? SAP secured the naming rights to the new multifunctional arena in September 2018. "It was important to us right from the start to involve the fans and the people of Munich in the project. That's why we launched a naming competition back then. We are now very proud that it has become the SAP Garden. It fits perfectly into the beautiful Olympic Park," explains Lars Lamadé, Head of Global Sponsorships SAP.

Following the submission phase, a jury consisting of representatives from EHC Red Bull Munich, FC Bayern Basketball, whose second venue will be the SAP Garden, and SAP selected three favorites. The name "SAP Garden", which was thrown into the ring by sports fan Manfred, prevailed. The green roof of the SAP Garden served as inspiration for Manfred.
