Editing Allianz Arena (section)

=== Luminous exterior ===
The arena facade is constructed of 2,760 [[ETFE]]-foil air panels that are kept inflated with dry air to a differential pressure of 3.5 [[Pascal (unit)|Pa]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://allianz-arena.de/en/fakten/detaillierte-zahlen/ | title = Nuts and bolts | publisher = allianz-arena.de | access-date = 3 June 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130802034133/http://www.allianz-arena.de/en/fakten/detaillierte-zahlen/ | archive-date = 2 August 2013 | url-status = dead }}</ref> The panels appear white from far away but when examined closely, there are little dots on the panels.{{cn|date=January 2024}} When viewed from far away, the eye combines the dots and sees white.{{cn|date=January 2024}} When viewed close up however, it is possible to see through the foil.{{cn|date=January 2024}} The foil has a thickness of 0.2&nbsp;mm.{{cn|date=January 2024}} Each panel can be independently lit with white, red, or blue light.{{cn|date=January 2024}} The panels are lit for each game with the colours of the respective home team—red for Bayern Munich, blue for TSV and white for the [[Germany national football team|Germany national team]].{{cn|date=January 2024}}  White is also used when the stadium is a neutral venue, like the [[2012 UEFA Champions League final]].{{cn|date=January 2024}} Other colours or multicolour or interchanging lighting schemes are theoretically possible, but the Munich Police strongly insists on using a single-colour lighting scheme due to several car accidents on the nearby [[Bundesautobahn 9|A9 Autobahn]] with drivers being distracted by the changing lights.

Allianz Arena's innovative stadium-facade lighting concept has been subsequently adopted in other recently built venues, like [[MetLife Stadium]] in [[New Jersey]], which lights up in blue for the [[National Football League]]'s [[New York Giants|Giants]] and green for the [[New York Jets|Jets]].{{cn|date=January 2024}} With electricity costs for the light of about €50 ([[United States dollar|USD$]]75) per hour, the construction emits enough light that, on clear nights, the stadium can easily be spotted from Austrian mountain tops, e.g. from a distance of 50 miles (80&nbsp;km).
