Address: Städtisches Stadion an der Grünwalder Straße, Grünwalder Straße 4, München, 81547 Bavaria, Germany
Telephone: 00 49 8923 383710

The capacity of the stadium has varied from 51,800 in the 1960s to the present size of 12,500. The largest attendance was 58,200 in 1948 in a game between TSV 1860 and Nuremberg.
Currently, the biggest sporting events in this stadium are the two "derbies" between the second teams from TSV 1860 Munich (the Blues) and FC Bayern Munich (the Reds). TSV 1860 Munich are called "The Lions" from the Lion on their badge. The games are always sold out and the crowds are very passionate. The "60er Stadion" has the charm of an old school football stadium, old sitting areas of wood, old cement standing areas and the location in the heart of a residential area make this stadium unique in the modern stadium world. The famous Monty Python sketch The Philosophers' Football Match, though pretending to be in the Olympiastadion, was filmed here.
Tickets are €25 for adults, €22 for concessions & €12.50 for kids (seated) and €15 for adults, €12 for concessions & €7.50 for kids (standing). Tickets are available in advance at the Grünwald Stadion or pre-order them at tickets@tsv1860.de

What's it like? The "Städtisches Stadion an der Grünwalder Straße," also called "60er Stadion," is the third biggest, and also the oldest football stadium in Munich, built in 1911. The stadium is the home for the second teams of Munich's two biggest football clubs FC Bayern Munich and TSV 1860 Munich.

Pubs and grub - At the stadium, you can get two types of beer (blonde and white beer). Soft drinks are €3; beer costs €4. You pay an extra €1 for deposit on the returned cup and drinking should be allowed during the game. There's a special Bavarian drink, called 'Goaßn'; a mix of white beer and coke with a schnapps glass of cherry liqueur.
To eat, there are sandwiches (€3), Stadionwurst - a type of sausage - for €3.50 and sweets are €1.50. There are just five food stands in the stadium and gets very crowded if the stadium is full. There's one restaurant inside the east side of the stadium, which is only open on match day.
There are many pubs and a variety of restaurants around the stadium e.g. Bavarian, Asian, Italian Greek and fast food. They are all within a 5-15 minute walk away. A typical Bavarian restaurant is "Obergiesinger" (Bergstraße 5, 81539 München, 00 49 89 55051666 http://www.obergiesinger.de/) - it's around 500 metres from the east standing area in the direction to the church along Martin Luther Street on the left side.
The main fans pub is the "Wienerwald" (Tegernseer Landstr. 114, 81539 München) - it's across the road from the stadium, open 10am-10pm and has a beer garden.
