Bayern Munich fans rent out floor on skyscraper to watch Champions League match

UPDATE: According to Sport1, Bayern covered the fans’ cost for renting out the space. A+ work, Bayern.

UEFA made CSKA Moscow play a match behind closed doors because of their fans’ racist behavior last season, and that match came on Tuesday in the Champions League against Bayern Munich. But some Bayern fans were not going to be denied a trip to Russia to see their team play, so they rented out an entire floor of a skyscraper overlooking the stadium and watched the match from there.

So the view wasn’t so great, at least they could watch. And it wasn’t like they missed much anyway. Bayern won 1-0 on a penalty, and it wasn’t the most thrilling of matches.

They even did their part to make it legit, getting reserve player and Bastian’s brother Tobias Schweinsteiger to join them.

Next up: renting out the Goodyear blimp.
