History and description<\/h3>\n

Stadion Miejski w Wroc\u0142awiu (Municipal Stadium Wroclaw) was built to serve as a playing venue for the Euro 2012<\/a> tournament. Construction started in 2009 and was completed in January 2011.<\/p>\n

Stadion Miejski was designed by JSK architects<\/a>. The exterior of the stadium consists of a glass-fibre mesh, coated with Teflon. Steel rings connect the mesh to the body of the stadium.\u00a0 The design makes it possible to change the colour of the outer walls.<\/p>\n

The first event at the stadium was a boxing match, but the stadium officially opened on 19 September 2011 with a concert of George Michael. The first match played at the stadium was a Polish league match between Slask Wroclaw and Lechia Gdansk (1-0).<\/p>\n
