Zátopkova 100/2, Praha 6, Břevnov
Open House Prague is organizing a special guided tour in English. The Great Strahov Stadium (Velký strahovský stadion) was the largest stadium in the world and is the second largest sports facility worldwide after the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, seating around 220,000.
Construction began on a wooden stadium in 1926, and was replaced by concrete grandstands in 1932. Further construction occurred in 1948 and 1975. The playing field, surrounded by seating on all sides, is 63,500 square metres. Since March 2003, the stadium has been on the list of cultural monuments but currently has very limited use.
The tour lasts 90 minutes and the proceeds from this event support the activities of the nonprofit organization Open House Praha.
