Quote:Because of the high demand for tickets, Bayernâs next home game on Saturday will be played in Munichâs Olympic hall.
All 12'500 tickets have already sold out, creating a record for the league.
This hasn't gone unnoticed with German superstar Dirk Nowitzki.
"Munich is a great city and offers the right environment," the Mavericks star said in an interview recently. "The money is right and basketball is accepted by the fans. The top game of the 2nd League against my former team Würzburg in mid-February has already sold out. I think it's really good what's developing over there."
Basketball has become an event in Munich. On the sidelines you regularly see football stars like Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thomas Muller, high-ranked politicians as well as entertainment stars.
The full potential of basketball in Munich is yet to be proven, when Bayern will play next season in Germanyâs top league BBL.
