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.
Since the installation of the ASB GlassFloor in summer 2024, BMW Park has already hosted a wide variety of high-profile events. One highlight was the spectacular New Year’s Eve show with Florian Silbereisen, where the floor was brought to life with stunning light and video installations. The FC Bayern Basketball home games have also greatly benefited from this technology: interactive animations and visual effects enhance the game-day experience and elevate the atmosphere to an entirely new level.
Looking ahead, a range of exciting event formats are planned – from concerts and trade fairs to interactive shows and roller-skating discos. Companies can use the floor for product launches or brand presentations, while artists can transform it into a dynamic canvas for their performances. Thanks to its versatility, the ASB GlassFloor also enables unconventional formats such as virtual experiences and interactive art installations.
With its unique combination of technology, design, and multifunctionality, BMW Park is setting new standards for the future of the event and sports industry. The ASB GlassFloor proves that a floor can be far more than just a playing surface – it becomes an interactive platform for unforgettable experiences.
