Home fans reach the stadium itself via the Esplanade, a roof of waves, curves and ripples over the car parks measuring 543 metres by 136 metres and landscaped to blend in with the prevailing heath vegetation of the surrounding area. Spectator routes emerge directly from the car parks, the bus parking and via a short transition route from the Fröttmaning underground station. So-called Fan Canyons are cut lengthways into the Esplanade, housing retail facilities and 55 ticket kiosks, with a full and uninterrupted view of the Arena from within the Canyons.
Visiting fans arriving by underground or car to FC Bayern München home games can reach the stadium through the visiting fans’ entrance to the north-west of the Allianz Arena.

The Allianz Arena is usually illuminated for about three hours from sunset on non-matchdays. The colour dynamic is red-white (only red for 3 minutes, transition, upper half white and bottom half red for 3 minutes, including transition). Red only for FC Bayern home and away matches.
During Germany national team matches or upon request at special events: white only.
The Allianz Arena may have other lighting schemes on certain evenings due to special events.
The installation of a new LED lighting system in the facade began in October 2014 and took about 100 days. The system has made the Allianz Arena Germany’s first and Europe’s biggest stadium with comprehensive exterior all-round LED lighting for dynamic illumination.
1,056 of the 2,784 air panels can be lit, equivalent to 26,000 m² or the entire part of the façade that is visible for fans and passers-by. The LEDs illuminate the equivalent area of 3.5 football pitches.

The man after whom the street is named was not a footballer, but rather a famous German atomic physicist and Nobel prize winner. Werner Heisenberg studied in Munich before becoming Professor of Physics at Leipzig University in 1927, where he was a prime mover in the development of quantum theory. He was awarded the 1933 Nobel prize for physics in recognition of his work on quantum mechanics
