From the source
Following Bayern Munich’s 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund, work will begin at the Allianz Arena to transform the stadium for the NFL matchup between the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots on November 15.
Once the NFL game is over, grounds crews will have just five days to remove the existing playing surface and install a new pitch before Bayern Munich plays FC Köln in the Bundesliga.
That is a tight turnaround, but Allianz Arena manager Jürgen Muth is not particularly concerned about the schedule. Muth told Deutsche Presse-Agentur (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), noting that a hybrid pitch will be used because it is relatively easy to install.
