This is the second part in which we present stadiums where particular Speedway Grand Prix 2024 tournments take place. Now it is time for Warsaw.
On the object in this city the second tournment of SGP 2024 will happen on 11th of May. The National Stadium, as was its first name, was built in the years 2008-2011. In 2012 it was one of the main arenas where European Football Championship took place. The tribunes can contain 58500 people. In 2015 the name of the object changed because of the sponsor. Since that time it has been called PGE Narodowy.
The championship in Warsaw attract many people. The only exception was the match in which the Polish Representation took part in 2016. During this game 25 thousands of fans had sat on the tribunes. However this amount of spectators should have been considered a success, because it was only the friendly match.
Apart from sport events there are also some organised. This year on PGE Narodowy will perform inter alia: Metallica and Taylor Swift. In the winter an ice rink is created on this stadium.
