According to a report, FC Bayern Munich plans to expand the capacity of its stadium in the summer. Seating should be converted to standing.

As the “Bild” writes on Thursday, the capacity of the Allianz Arena will increase from 75,000 to 77,000 in national competitions. The renovation is scheduled for this summer. In addition to the standing room in the north stand, the stadium has so far been equipped with seats in the corners – for now. According to the report, there should also be standing room there in the future.
Because these take up almost half of the space, 2,500 seats become 4,500 standing places. According to information from the “German Press Agency”, the plans should still be coordinated with the fans.
Dortmund retains top position
In 2015, Bayern, whose home games have always been sold out this season, increased capacity for the last time: from 71,168 to 75,000. So far, the arena has held 70,000 spectators in the European Cup and World Cup.
Even after the expansion, the Munich round would not be able to match the 81,365 spaces in the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund. Thanks to the significantly larger number of standing places (28,337), the Westphalians are keeping their top position in Germany for the time being.
