Innovation by ASB GlassFloor at BMW Park
In just a few weeks, BMW Park in Munich, Germany has been transformed into one of the most modern event arenas in Europe. Originally built as the Olympic basketball hall for the 1972 Games, it has undergone an impressive revival with the permanent installation of the world’s first video sports floor made of glass. ASB GlassFloor is not just a groundbreaking innovation for sports - it unlocks entirely new possibilities for event venues.
Multi-functionality for maximum flexibility
ASB GlassFloor is much more than a traditional sports floor. Beneath its durable glass surface lie millions of LEDs that can be programmed for dynamic displays. Whether for sports events, concerts, or business functions, the floor enables interactive graphics, animated branding, and immersive experiences. Its ceramic-coated surface ensures excellent slip resistance and meets the highest safety standards.
For multi-purpose arena operators, ASB GlassFloor offers maximum flexibility and economic benefits. Sponsor content can be dynamically adapted, event layouts can be reconfigured in seconds, and interactive visuals enhance audience engagement. At the same time, its durability and low maintenance costs make it a sustainable and profitable investment for any
venue.

Looking ahead, BMW Park is set to host a variety of innovative event formats, from concerts and trade fairs to interactive shows and roller-skating discos. Companies can utilize the floor for product presentations and brand showcases, while artists can transform it into a dynamic canvas for performances. The versatility of ASB GlassFloor also allows for unconventional experiences, such as virtual installations or interactive art displays.
With its unique combination of technology, design, and multi-functionality, BMW Park is setting new standards for the future of the sports and event industry. ASB GlassFloor proves that a floor can be much more than just a playing surface - it becomes an interactive platform for unforgettable experiences.
