VIDEO: How the "SAP Garden" got its nameInterview with ice hockey fan and namesake Manfred// NEWSThe move to our future home is getting closer and closer. We will be playing in the SAP Garden in the 2024/25 season. But how did the arena actually get its name? Namesake Manfred explains in an interview.

In the run-up to construction, a call for tenders was issued to find a name for the arena where EHC Red Bull München would like to celebrate many victories and titles in the future. A favorite quickly emerged from the many suggestions. Ice hockey fan Manfred christened our new living room "SAP Garden".

"The 'SAP Arena' already exists - the 'Audi Dome' even exists in Munich. These names were already out of the question. The green roof then gave me the idea: let's call it 'SAP Garden'. That sounds modern and does justice to all types of sport," explains Manfred.

Of course, there is also a thank-you for the help in finding a name. Manfred receives a season ticket for all Red Bulls games as well as the selected FC Bayern Basketball games in the arena he named.
