Located

The stadium is situated in the southwestern part of Poznan. Poznan's green and yellow buses are the best way to reach the ground from the city centre, while a second tram line to complement the current one running to the north of the city will also be ready by the tournament's opening.

Atmosphere

High, sloping stands and a roof which looms over part of the pitch should ensure noise levels remain high during fixtures.

Did You Know?

The completion of the stadium's renovation in September 2010 was marked by the performance of Sting, who was on tour promoting his album Symphonicities and held a concert inside the ground.
