Intro:
A look at Arena Lviv - Euro 2012's smallest venue - with the tournament just weeks away.
Script:
The home of Karpaty Lviv of the Ukraine Premier League, for Euro 2012, Arena Lviv will host three group B matches.
For the tournament the stadium will hold 30-thousand people, but the record attendance was 34-thousand, set in Ukraine's 2-1 win over Austria back in November 2011.
Ukraine's fourth and final Euro 2012 stadium combines traditional national architecture with a modern slant, its two-tiered stands offering perfect sightlines.
A transparent roof protects fans from the elements.
The opening ceremony in October 2011 featured 2,000 performers - actors, dancers, acrobats and artists - in a theatrical production dedicated to the history of Lviv.
The stadium will host its first Euros match when Germany take on Portugal on June 9th.
