In 2019, the city council decided to expand the "60s stadium" to make it suitable for the second division.
Little has happened since then - due to disagreement over the rent adjustment.
Two years ago it seemed to be finally answered, the eternal stadium question of TSV 1860. Munich's city council spoke out in favor of expanding the ailing venue on Grünwalder Straße to make it suitable for the second division.
Everything was regulated in a fundamental decision: upper limit of 18 100 visitors (3100 more than before), complete roofing, VIP boxes, new floodlights.
Little visible has happened since then.
Corona came, the city's costs rose at the same rate as prices.
However, that was not the reason for the delay, as it turns out these days.
If we have an investment for the stadium that costs at best 40, at worst 70 million euros, the rent will change to the current state.

Rather, the crux of the matter is the rent, which would increase dramatically in 1860. "We have to know what the costs will be before we can sign anything," said President Robert Reisinger in a recent interview. He now received an answer publicly - from none other than Mayor Dieter Reiter, who told münchen tv: "If we have an investment for the stadium that costs at best 40, at worst 70 million euros, the rent will change to the current state." 1860 currently pays around half a million euros a year - a lot of money when you consider that the current third division budget is five million euros. But, says Reiter snappy: "I don't know what the Sechzger believe, but we still have regulations in the municipal code that we have to charge rent for it."
Three clubs, one stadium - and only 1860 needs more than 15,000 spectators
Another problem: The Löwen want the renovation more than Türkgücü and Bayern II, who also play games in Giesing, but don't even need 15,000 seats.
“We are basically converting the stadium for three clubs, but the increase in the number of spectators is actually only available for one club - and that is TSV 1860. That is not meant to be disrespectful.
Only the six-wheelers want this conversion. "
“We want clarity from the city,” Reisinger said in an interview.
The 1860 community is still waiting for clarity in the form of reliable figures, but Reiter gave a clear message: “Slipping the buck to us is somewhat bold.
You have to say that very clearly. "
To be continued - as sure as the 1860 speaking choirs on Giesing's heights.
