Is this the most hideous stadium ever?

Allianz Arena. Home of the 2006 FIFA World Cup

Now I could understand if this stadium were called the Goodyear Grandstand or the Michelin Mansion. But whatever possessed the architects to create a stadium that looks just like a spare tyre from the outside?

This, as it happens, will be the main arena in Munich for next year's FIFA World Cup.
