Posted Friday, May 25, 2012 by SNTV


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.
