ALPINE completes PGE ARENA Gdansk one year before EURO 2012TM kicks off

Salzburg: The PGE ARENA Gdansk in Danzig/Poland was completed after a 2-year construction period. Boasting 44,000 spectator seats, the stadium is one of the biggest stadiums in Poland. All three group matches and a quarter-final will be played here during the European Football Championship in the summer of 2012. This outstanding stadium is further proof of ALPINE's competence in the construction of international sports facilities. The PGE ARENA Gdansk is a new landmark in the city of Danzig. Danzig's mayor, Pawel Adamowicz, and the president of the local organizational committee - BIEG 2012, Ryszard Trykosko, thanked ALPINE and the consortium for the cooperative partnership.

The PGE ARENA Gdansk: brilliant amber

Danzig is known for its amber, the "Gold of the Baltic Sea"and its harbors. The stadium designed by RKW Rhode Kellermann Wawrowsky Architektur + Städtebau combines the symbolic value of both elements.

The green seats in the stadium reflect Danzig's bond with the Polish football club, Lechia Gdansk. The stadium is built in 34-hectares of ground, is 236 meters long, 203 meters wide and has 40 exclusive VIP lounges spread across over 2,000 m2. The complex also has a number of restaurants, bars and shops as well as parking space for 95 buses and 2,170 cars. Venue security is addressed by video cameras inside and outside of the stadium, electronic ticket access and autonomous power supply system. The arena's multifunctional design makes it ideal for all kinds of events.
