6 | SPORTS VENUES 2023/24 www.stadiaworld.com INTRO Whether stadiums or arenas, new venues are still being built and opened all over the world. The demand for new and modern infrastructure is unbroken – and sometimes even though modern facilities already exist. For example, just outside Los Angeles, where a new multi-billion-euro arena is currently under construction. Located right next to the most expensive stadium in the world – the SoFi Stadium – it will provide a new home for the LA Clippers. Until 2024, the NBA franchise will continue to play in the Crypto.com Arena – which is also undergoing a nine-figure renovation. The costs for the new building in Inglewood, on the other hand, are many times higher. The Intuit Dome is expected to cost more than 1.6 billion euros. By contrast, the SAP Garden in Munich costs “peanuts” at 150 million euros. Located in the Olympic Park in Munich, the new building is intended to be the home of the EHC Red Bull Munich and the FC Bayern Munich Basketball. In addition, other events such as gaming will take place.
