The Silesian Stadium in Chorzów is one of the "legends" of
Polish football. The idea of building the stadium appeared in

was the largest facility of its kind in the country. It could
accommodate more than 100,000 spectators. A lot of
football matches and speedway competitions held on the
stadium have gone down in history. Currently, the stadium is
being under reconstruction.
