Located at the heart of the Olympiapark München in northern Munich, the Olympiastadion is a high-tech architectural landmark designed by Behnisch & Partner, Carlo Weber, and Frei Otto for the 1972 Summer Olympics. Built as the main venue for those Games, the stadium originally accommodated 70,824 spectators, with daily track-and-field crowds averaging 80,000 to 90,000 people. Its prestigious history includes hosting the 1974 FIFA World Cup Final and the UEFA Euro 1988 Final, as well as European Cup Finals in 1979, 1993, and 1997. Formerly home to Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich until the 2006 construction of Allianz Arena, the stadium remains Munich's principal athletics venue and continues to host football, concerts, and major international events. Its current seating capacity is 63,118, though configuration for concerts can expand capacity to 77,337. Recognized as an architectural heritage monument in Bavaria, it stands as a defining work of high-tech design.
