Doosan Arena, previously known as Stadion města Plzně (Plzeň City Stadium), is a
Sokol Movement (some people incorrectly think it is named after a famous local footballer Stanislav Štrunc).[citation needed
]
History
The stadium was opened in 1955 for the regional
football association and the capacity lowered significantly to 7,425 people.[3]
2011 reconstruction
In April 2011, work costing approximately 360 million Czech koruna got under way to modernise the stadium in line with UEFA criteria.[4] While the reconstruction was in progress, the capacity of the stadium was reduced to 3,500 spectators.[5] At the end of August 2011, part of the 2011 reconstruction had finished, leaving the stadium with a new capacity of around 8,500.[6] In December 2011, the reconstruction was finished with a resultant capacity of almost 12,000.[7]
In 2011, Plzeň played in the
Schalke 04.[8]
