	World Cup stadium fear for Munich - Telegraph
		MUNICH will miss out on the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany because a row over a new stadium will not be solved in time, TSV 1860 Munich president Karl-Heinz Wildmoser said yesterday.
		Munich's hopes of taking part in the World Cup suffered a blow when a project to modernise the ageing Olympic Stadium was unexpectedly withdrawn last year by the architects who had submitted it.
		Munich's Olympic Stadium was built for the 1972 Games and was the venue for West Germany's memorable 2-1 triumph over Holland in the 1974 World Cup final.

	Olympic Stadium, Munich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the heart of the Olympiapark München in northern Munich, the Olympiastadion was the main venue for the 1972 Summer Olympics.
		However, the stadium and its adjoining Olympic Village became infamous for the tragic events of the 1972 Olympics, rather than celebrated as the site of the great athletic achievements of competitors such as United States' swimmer Mark Spitz and sprinter Mary Peters.
		Following the Olympics, the stadium became the home of FC Bayern München, with their rival TSV 1860 München moving in during the 1990s.

		The stadium will lose its tenants, Bayern Munich, if a referendum in the city on Oct 21 gives permission for a £121 million ground to be built in the Froettmaning area by the European champions and their neighbours TSV 1860 Munich.
		We would like to have built a stadium under the roof because the infrastructure was okay, but the architect who owns the copyright for the next 70 years wouldn't agree to any changes.
		Though the original Wembley Stadium project was forced to fund the rebuilding of the local underground station by Brent Council, Bayern and TSV 1860's proposed stadium should come in at about £540 million cheaper than the abandoned national stadium refit.

		"The roof of the main stadium and indoor arenas for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, designed by Gnter Behnisch with Otto [Frei Otto] as roof design consultant, realized an entirely new scale for this type of structure, and led to the pioneering of purely mathematical computer-based procedures for determining their shape and behaviour."
		But at Munich the scale was tremendous, involving the erection and linking of varied amoeba-shaped tents: the major areas covered included the main stadium, on one side only, linked to the arena and the swimming area, both wholly covered.
		The roof covering the main stadium consisted of a PVC-coated polyester fabric suspended on hangers independent of the cable net.

		At the new Allianz Munich stadium, which kicks off officially with a match between Bayern Munich and Germany tomorrow, it can be red, white or blue, or any combination of all three.
		The Allianz Stadium is a glorious conceit dreamed up by the football-crazy Swiss architects Herzog and de Meuron, best known in Britain for the designs of Tate Modern and the Laban dance centre in London.
		Like most new football grounds, the arena is plonked down on one of those nowhere places that litter cities worldwide, tucked into the elbows of railway junctions or nudged into the groins of motorway intersections, and with the city they champion seemingly nowhere in sight.

		Built on the site of the airfield from which in 1938 the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain flew back to his country with `a piece of paper' in his pocket, the Olympic Stadium has been inspiring dreamers of quite another kind since it was created for the 1972 Olympic Games.
		Bayern's rise to prominence in the 1970s went hand-in-hand with their moving to the stadium; TSV Munich 1860, by contrast, have never really settled here, and so keep their main offices at their old Grunwalder Strasse ground.
		The crowning glory of the stadium is of course its breathtaking spiderweb roof, which even after 25 years can still intrigue and fascinate if the action on the pitch fails to catch your eye.
