Olympic ice stadium
The construction of the Olympic ice rink as an ice rink on Oberwiesenfeld was started in April 1965 according to plans by Rolf Schütze and was completed in 1967 before the 1972 Summer Olympics were awarded to Munich . In addition to ice sports - such as ice hockey , ice stock and figure skating - the original usage concept also provided for other sports such as handball , basketball or table tennis .
In February 1967 the stadium was opened for the sport of ice hockey with the game FC Bayern Munich against SC Riessersee .
The table tennis world championship held in the ice stadium in February 1969 showed that the use for other sports is extremely problematic. As a result, the usage concept was changed by once again concentrating the use of the ice rink on ice sports.
In 1972 the stadium was expanded to accommodate 7,000 spectators and was used for boxing events during the 1972 Summer Games .
When the stadium was used by the ice hockey club EC Hedos Munich from the mid-1980s , the admitted spectator capacity was reduced to 6300 spectators again. During this time, the responsible district administration department was considering a further reduction to 5000 spectators, but this was rejected.
In 1992 the entire pipes in the stadium were replaced as part of the renovation of the ice facility.
In the 1990s, the wall scoreboards were also replaced by four electronic scoreboards above the ice hockey rink.
When the Munich Barons ice hockey team used the stadium for games in the German Ice Hockey League from the 1999/2000 season , renovations were carried out in the stadium: In the area of the spectator seats on the western (main) seating grandstand, some of the remaining wooden benches were replaced by heated ones Individual seats replaced and the seats in front of the standing room on the north and south curve converted into standing room. This reduced the audience capacity to 6,262.
The current audience capacity today (2012) is 6,142. For the sport of ice hockey, the main user of the stadium is currently the team of the EHC Munich .
Between September 2010 and September 2011, according to an agreement between FC Bayern Munich and Munich Olympiapark GmbH, which is based on a feasibility study presented on March 23, 2010 in the sports advisory of the LH Munich, the stadium was rebuilt every 14 days for games of the first basketball team:
- The ice surface was covered with an insulation layer and the parquet floor required by the basketball league was laid on top.
- The display boards were pulled a few meters towards the ceiling.
- The standing areas in the south and north curve were covered by curtains.
- The plexiglass bands were dismantled.
- The basket systems and the grandstands behind the basket systems were driven directly onto the field.
- The temperature was increased to 20 degrees using heating hoses.
The resulting basketball hall had a seating capacity of 3,225. The attempt to expand the capacity to 3,700 seats in December 2010 by not covering part of the standing room was not continued because the temperature in the hall dropped too much. When FC Bayern Munich moved to its own venue, the Audi Dome , in September 2011, EHC Munich became the main user of the ice rink again. After the team was taken over by the Red Bull Group, a temporary extension was added to the stadium in the summer of 2013 to expand the VIP area on the western side of the stadium and with changes in the hall. In February 2016 it was announced that the necessary renovation of the stadium would cost EUR 30 million.

At the time of the construction of the Olympic ice rink, an open ice rink with wooden stands with standing space for up to 7,000 people was built on the west side as the predecessor of today's ice skating tent, in which the operator of the mini golf course at the ice sports center built a second facility in summer.
In 1980 it was decided to roof over the open ice rink and demolish the wooden stands. According to Kurt Ackermann's plans, from 1982 to 1983 the ice rink became the new ice skating tent.
In addition to the public skating, the ice skating tent was used by the curling department of the Munich EV, which has now been closed, and by the short track sport, which was later included in the Olympic program . During the summer months the tent was safely used as an "action arena" from 1994 to 2003.
In the summer of 2004 the ice rink of the ice skating tent was shut down because the renovation work to be carried out on it was too expensive from the perspective of Olympiapark München GmbH . In order to continue using the ice skating tent, the GmbH sublet it as a SoccerFive arena for the summer of 2004 from June 26, 2004 . From autumn 2004 it became permanent use, so that indoor soccer fields can be rented there today.

In 1991, the necessary additional training hall was built on the east side on pillars for the figure skating world championship awarded to Munich in order to maintain the capacity of the eastern parking area of the Olympic Park. The training hall has received several awards
The training hall with its ice surface of 60 meters × 30 meters is one of the largest ice skating centers in Europe and was originally operated as a German performance center for figure skating as part of the Munich Olympic base only for use with this sport.
Since the ice skating tent was closed, training for the short track sport has also been carried out in this hall . If the ice rink is occupied with other events, the public run will also take place there.
