Monday, 23. October 2023 | EHC Red Bull Munich: Successful Sneak Preview in the SAP Garden

"Zwickt's mi!" - SAP Garden sold out for the first time600 fans at the "sneak preview" of our new home// CURRENTThe opening of the SAP Gardens is getting closer and closer and the anticipation is rising steadily. On Sunday, 600 fans of the Red Bulls took a first look behind the scenes - and already caused goose bumps.

It was around 1 p.m. when the big bell sounded for the first time in our new home and "Hells Bells" by AC/DC rang out to the cheers of the fans. A goosebump moment that culminated in the welcome by our stadium announcer Stefan Schneider and Christian Winkler (Managing Director Sports Red Bull Ice Hockey). After a short interview about the mammoth project at Oberwiesenfeld in the Bowl, where the puck will dance across the ice in the future, another highlight for the fans followed: Schneider intoned the first "EHC" echo of SAP Garden and made the arena shake.

Winkler: "Everyone was flashed"

"It does something to you when you see all the beaming faces. Everyone was flashed. A great moment," Winkler summed up after the event. For everyone in attendance, the tour of the future living room left a lasting impression, as one of the fans pointed out afterward.

"I've been to the Experience Center a few times and cycled past the SAP Garden, but going in for the first time was something else again. It's a great atmosphere and it felt like home right away. I can't wait for the new living room to be ready."

Despite contingent expansion: SAP Garden sold out for the first time

After the first 250 seats were sold out within 17 minutes, we released another 250 tickets for the "Sneak Preview" to the raffle. Here, too, your demand was significantly higher than the quota. After consulting with security, we were even able to give away 350 additional seats instead of 250. The then total of 600 supporters of our Red Bulls made history together on Sunday in the "sold-out SAP Garden for the first time," as Schneider announced.

"Today was another one of those days when you go into the SAP Garden and say, ‚Zwickt‘s mi, i glaub i tram!‘ That was another milestone. Another step towards what will be here soon. These are unbelievably great moments," Winkler said enthusiastically.

5:1 derby win as the perfect finale

Afterwards, we went to the home derby against the Augsburg Panthers in our "still-home" the Olympic Ice Stadium. The good mood from the "Sneak Preview" remained and carried our guys to a clear 5:1 victory. A perfect end to a memorable day.
