Just like on the field, award for the field itself was won by Bayern and the Allianz Arena. This is the second consecutive season for the Bavarian stadium to make top three (3rd last year). Making the award more worthy, it’s given in recognition of how the field is prepared for season and then maintained throughout the campaign.
