The announcer said that for the Champion's League they have to call the stadium that. Sponsorship thing?
probably a sponsorship thing ... it is for team names, as Red Bull Salzburg have to call themselves "FC Salzburg" when they play in the CL or EL for example. Maybe similar rules apply for stadium names, but I've never heard that Bayern had to change it though ... who knows.
