Creative Bayern Fans Rent out Part of a Skyscraper to Watch Closed-Door Match

A group of Bayern Munich fans got creative so that they could watch their side take on CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Tuesday night. 

CSKA, a team whose fanbase has been punished for multiple incidents of racism, were forced to play host to Bayern behind the closed-doors of the 18,636-seat Arena Khimki and were fined €50,000.

Some wise Bayern fans rented out part of a skyscraper to watch the team from afar. 

Likewise, Tobi Schweinsteiger, who is on the Bayern reserves and the older brother of midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, watched from an elevated position and tweeted (translated via Fox Soccer) "where there's a will, there's a way." 

Update: But in a great gesture, Bayern reportedly covered the fans' cost of getting to the game:

CSKA apparently got in the spirit of the game by trying to create some sort of atmosphere for the hosts with artificial crowd chants.

It didn't matter, though, as Bayern won the match 1-0 behind a Thomas Mueller goal from the penalty spot in the first half.
