The Stal Rzeszów Municipal Stadium (Polish: Stadion Miejski Stal w Rzeszowie) is a 12,000-capacity motorcycle speedway and association football stadium in the southern area of Rzeszów, Poland.[1] [2]
The venue is used by the speedway team Stal Rzeszów,[3] who compete in the Team Speedway Polish Championship[4] and the football clubs of Stal Rzeszów and Resovia.
Speedway arrived at the stadium in 1955 following the construction of a track surrounding a pitch, with the first speedway match taking place on 22 May 1955.[3] It was not until 2012 that major renovation began with a new east stand being built to add to the existing grandstand.[1]
In 2006, the Rzeszów municipality took ownership of the stadium to enable further redevelopment projects. In 2011, a new 4,700-seater covered stand was built and further phases are planned to increase the capacity to an all–seater 20,150 capacity stadium.[1]
