The original building is very nice by night, when the lights can color the
stadium with red, white and blue. Here you can see some pictures:

(at: "Beleuchtungstest in Bildschirmgröße")
I think the most beautiful is the one with the color of the Bayern flag
(white&blue)!

And here you can find some pictures of the design of Lego model:

(at: "Die Allianz Arena im LEGO Format")

The Allianz Arena in Günzburg is the second European stadium made of Lego
visible in one Legoland park. The first one was the "Parken" of Copenhagen,
built in the year 2000 (for the Euro2000 Football Cup) in Billund.
