Allianz Arena
from 2005 to 2017, 1860 Munich played their home matches in the Allianz Arena, which they shared and - until 2006 co-owned - with Bayern Munich. The arena's usual skin color lighting was changed to 1860s blue when the team played. The club's inaugural game at the Allianz Arena was a friendly played against 1. FC Nürnberg on 30 May 2005. On 28 April 2006, 1860 sold its 50% share to Bayern Munich to help resolve a serious financial crisis that saw 1860 facing bankruptcy. On 12 July 2017, Bayern Munich terminated 1860 Munich's rental agreement for Allianz Arena. The club returned to their old stadium, the Grünwalder Stadion.
