The stadium was originally known as the Sechzgerstadion, a reference to TSV 1860 Munich.
In 1948, the stadium recorded its highest attendance of 58,211 spectators during a match between 1860 Munich and 1. FC Nürnberg.
The stadium survived significant damage during World War II and was reconstructed in the post-war period.
Despite modern safety regulations, the stadium maintains a large standing-room section, which is rare for professional-level venues in Germany.
The pitch is surrounded by floodlight masts installed in the 1970s that have become a recognizable landmark of the Giesing skyline.
Grünwalder Stadion, officially named Städtisches Stadion an der Grünwalder Straße, is a historic football venue located in the Giesing district of Munich. Built in 1911, it is one of the oldest football stadiums still in regular use in Germany. The venue serves as the primary home ground for the second team of FC Bayern Munich and provides a secondary home for TSV 1860 Munich. With a capacity of approximately 15,000, it is known for its intimate atmosphere due to the stands being situated very close to the pitch. The stadium has undergone multiple renovations and expansions throughout the 20th century, retaining its classic English-style architecture. It is a municipally owned facility managed by the City of Munich.

Check the local match schedule in advance, as ticket demand for TSV 1860 games is consistently high.
Bring weather-appropriate clothing, as the vast majority of seats are uncovered and exposed to the elements.
Arrive early to experience the pre-match atmosphere in the local bars surrounding Grünwalder Straße.
Do not attempt to purchase tickets at the gate for high-profile derbies, as these almost always sell out in advance to club members.
Operations are strictly tied to the football season; the stadium typically has no match activity during the summer break in June and July.
Avoid wearing colors associated with rival teams if sitting in the home supporter sections; fans are known for vocal, high-energy support.
