UEFA decides about hosting of Euro2012 for the cities&stadiums, not polish government.

After rebuilding, this stadium will have:
- 20 sky-boxes (for 325 VIP's)
- 1458 places for buisness class
- 750 places for media
- 250 places for commentators

But Likasz has right, Stadion Śląski (eng. Silesia Stadium) hasn't good visibility from old stands. I hope that rebuilding repair it.

Anyone knows what for?
not :lol:
Just one info: there is a plan to expand the stadium's capacity(after Euro2012) to around 70.000.
It is only a silly fairy tale, some politician threw it of at least chances and logical reasons there is for the realization no it - maintaining the stadium still will cost a lot of money. I don't know for every generally speaking to place such nonsenses, the visibility at present is already bad, the new II level a lot won't correct, what one can see the 3rd level from whom nothing will be up to? Probably of technical possibilities for the expansion practically won't be.

indeed this is a good stadium, but no offense, i don't think they will finish the reconstruction next year. Maybe the stadium will be finished in 2011, but definantly not next year.

A shame this stadium won't be increased to 70,000, that would have been a perfect capacity for this stadium. Anyway, to renovate the stadium, they would have to take down one-third of the stadium and a two-tiered stand would be constructed from scratch. To match the new stand, I would have torn down the existing two-tiered stand and built a completely new one before adding the roof. This would be like the renovation project of the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The detailed project specifications of the roof have been finished yesterday. It appears that the roof, at least according to Polish Press Agency (PAP) will be the world's largest in terms of surface - 43,000 square meters. Anyone got details on other huge surfaces? I assume that retractable roofs don't count here.

New GS stadium: 46.400m² (10,000m² if it the moveable part)

To Michal: Are you saying that the Slaski stadium's proposed seat covering would be the largest in the world, which means it would surpass that of the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh?
 
#47 ·
Jim, I'm not claiming that. I'm quoting the claims we have here in Poland from officials. I would be surprised if they bothered to check - I suppose it's just a publicity booster. But still, I haven't got enough reliable data to compare.

New GS stadium: 46.400m² (10,000m² if it the moveable part)
yeah, it seemed clear they couldn't match retractables.
 
#48 ·
Sorry, it should be 46,400 m² and 10,000m² of it is the moveable part :)
