Stadion An Der Grünwalderstraße
For the 2018–19 season, 1860's first season back in the 3. Liga following promotion from the fourth tier Regionalliga Bayern, the stadium's capacity was 15,000. 1860 Munich regularly sell out home matches in what is regarded as the club's spiritual home at Sechszigerstadion, and the stadium is easily accessible on public transport from Munich city centre. The stadium is known for its curved western terrace known as the Westkurve, where currently 9,000 1860 Munich fans stand creating an impressive atmosphere. Bayern Munich II also play at the stadium, but only open the covered seated Nordtribune to home fans for matches. Following their promotion to the third tier for the 2019/20 3. Liga season, Bayern Munich II are now in the same league as 1860, leading to the first Munich city derbies in several years. In 2020, Türkgücü München announced they would become the third 3. Liga tenants to play at the stadium should they secure promotion, which is likely to cause fixture congestion in the future.
The largest crowd was 58,560 in 1948 at a game between 1860 Munich and 1. FC Nürnberg. The 15,000 capacity Grünwalder Stadion no longer meets the requirements for the 2. Bundesliga meaning that tenants may need to move to the Olympiastadion or another ground upon promotion from the 3. Liga.
The Monty Python sketch The Philosophers' Football Match, though pretending to be in the Olympiastadion, was filmed in this stadium.
