Spectacular Stadiums You Never Knew Were Designed by World-Famous Architects

3. Allianz Arena – Herzog & de Meuron (Germany, 2005)

The Allianz Arena in Munich is one of the most innovative stadiums in the world, designed by Herzog & de Meuron. Its futuristic façade consists of 2,874 inflatable ETFE plastic panels, which can illuminate in different colors, reflecting the home team playing inside—red for Bayern Munich and blue for 1860 Munich. The self-cleaning, lightweight material not only makes the stadium energy-efficient, but also allows it to become a living canvas of light, captivating fans and visitors alike. The iconic glowing exterior ensures that Allianz Arena is as much a work of art as it is a sporting venue.
