Euro 2012 stadiums – PGE Arena Gdansk
PGE Arena is one of the Polish side stadiums prepared for Euro 2012 football tournament. First (and also better) name chosen for this building was Baltic Arena, but since the name have been sold to a sponsor we will have now there something pretty less sophisticated. The stadium will be 227 meters long, 194 meter wide and 45 meters high. It will contain 41.582 seats during Euro and 43.608 during other games.

The stadium will have very sophisticated look because of the special polycarbonates used to build the elevation. Te facade will appear with the amber color – which is very symbolic to close Baltic Sea. Amber is precious stone that appears almost only on Baltic shore and Poland is the main source of this mineral. This will be surely one of the most impressive stadium during the tournament and the most beautiful. The project greatly refer to the characteristic of Euro organizers.

At the end of 2009 there were some changes added to the main project that included roof montage technique, screens and sound systems. Luckily the main roof project has not been changed. There is no doubt that any change to that would be provided with huge loss to the whole building concept.
