PGE ARENA DANZIG / RKW

Posted in Architecture - Sports by FORMAKERS

The PGE Arena Gdańsk, previously called the Baltic Arena, is a football stadium in Gdańsk (Danzig), Poland.

It is used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Lechia Gdańsk. The Stadium is located on ul.

Pokoleń Lechii Gdańsk ("Generations of Lechia Gdańsk street") in the northern part of the city (Letnica district). The capacity of the stands is 43,615 spectators, all seated and roofed.

PGE Arena Gdańsk is the largest arena in Ekstraklasa and the third largest in the country (after National Stadium and Silesia Stadium).

Construction of the stadium started in 2008 and was completed mid-2011. The opening match was between Lechia Gdańsk and Cracovia and ended with 1–1 draw.

[3] The first international match, Poland - Germany, took place on 6 September 2011 and ended 2-2.

The latter was relocated from Warsaw because the National Stadium was not ready. PGE Arena is used by Lechia Gdańsk since “White-green” relocated there form MOSiR Stadium.

The stadium is also one of the designated venues for the finals of Euro 2012. It will host four matches during the tournament.

Three matches in Group C and one quarterfinal are to be played here.

This stadium is a football-specific stadium, which means that the turf is not ejected or changeable. For that reason it also lacks an athletics track (running).

The stadium has dimensions 236 meters long, 203 meters wide and 45 meters height..
