Great Strahov Stadium

The Great Strahov Stadium is a stadium located in the Strahov district of Prague, Czech Republic. The stadium is no longer used for sports events and it usually hosts pop concerts. It was built in 1926 as a wooden stadium, was replaced by concrete grandstands in 1932 and further construction occurred in 1948 and 1975. The playing field, surrounded by seating on all sides, is 63,500 square meters and it currently serves Sparta Prague as a training centre with 8 football pitches (6 pitches of standard sizes and 2 futsal pitches). With a capacity of around 220,000 people, the stadium was the largest in the world when first constructed, and is still the second largest sports facility worldwide after the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The original stadium dating from the First Republic between the World Wars served as a venue for Sokol displays of synchronized gymnastics. Later it was used for enormous displays during the communist era. Motor racing also took place in the arena in the mid-1960s and since 1990, the stadium has been used for concerts such as: Rolling Stones, Guns N’Roses, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd and many others.
The local authorities have designed plans to convert the mammoth Strahov stadium complex into a commercial zone complete with hotels, restaurants and shops. Other plans to rebuild the stadium aimed to hosting the Olympic Games for 2016 but this was unsuccessfully.
A serious option for accommodation is the Art Deco Imperial Hotel. This luxurious five star hotel in the heart of Prague is housed in an Art-Déco building dating back to 1914 and was recently re-opened after a complete renovation. There are 126 fully-equipped rooms at prices starting from 105 euro.
