Bavaria celebrates Euroleague victory, but new hall causes trouble!

It was an evening full of contrasts for the basketball players of FC Bayern. The impressive victory against Real Madrid with 97:89 in the Euroleague should actually bring jubilation and hope for a successful season. In addition to the joy of this triumphal start, there is also considerable trouble about technical problems in the new arena in the Olympic Park, the SAP Garden.

coach Gordon Herbert praised his players for their determination and catch -up during the game: "There was a Moment in the third quarter, we could have given up and fall apart. But we tore ourselves together. That was huge," said Herbert while pointing out the potential of the team. Center Devin Booker emphasized the team spirit: "It couldn't be better. We never gave up. I couldn't be proud of the team."

grandstand problems overshadowed the game

The negative aspect of the evening was the Situation around the stands. Despite the high expectations of the new hall, some structures could not be completed in time. This meant that hundreds of spectators had to be rebooked to simple chairs, which caused displeasure among prominent guests such as Uli Hoeneß or Joshua Kimmich. The spectators thus experienced a mew reception in an arena that should shine with innovative technical solutions.

The responsible people of FC Bayern commented on "structural delays and technical problems with the innovative grandstand system". These shortcomings were in clear contrast to the high expectations that were fueled before the opening. The new system should offer a unique framework for the games, but instead it is now perceived as a worry. "FC Bayern Basketball works with the operator of the new arena with high pressure to carry out his other planned home games in the SAP Garden as soon as possible in the originally planned basketball setup," said the message.

Nevertheless, the evening was not completely overshadowed by these difficulties. The victory over the three-time Euroleague champion Real Madrid set a positive sign. At the press conference after the game, Booker emphasized: "We are ready." Bayern have set high goals, especially after a disappointing last season. With a new team structure and trainer you hope to reach a playoff place and to assert yourself in the Euroleague.

The next home game in the new SAP Garden is already around the corner - on October 17 against Paris. Until then, it remains to be seen whether the construction problems can be resolved and the arena can shine in full shine, as well as the team of FC Bayern after their impressive start of the season.
