The originally planned
reconstruction of the Olympic Stadium has been rejected. After extensive
discussions the Munich City Council decided in July 2001 on the
construction of a new, purely football stadium at Froettmaning in
Munich's north. In a local referendum on October 21, 2001, the people of
Munich gave the green light. The two clubs, FC Bayern Munich and TSV
1860 Munich, will share the costs of the project.

Accordingly, the final choice will be made between the draft project prepared by architects Herzog & de Meuron in co-operation with building contractors Alpine Bau Deutschland GmbH, and that tabled by architects gmp (Gerkan, Marg und Partner) in co-operation with the Max Bögl constructions group. The Experts' Committee's final meeting took place on 8th February, 2002. The experts decided for the draft project. The stadium has already been outlined on paper. The following proposals have been included in the invited tenders:
