Městský stadion Vítkovice – construction description

Thorough redevelopment of the Vikitovice multi-use stadium began in the summer of 2012. First phase consisted of new east stand and secondary free-standing buildings in the east and south (main gate) and was delivered in May 2013.

After a break, new south and north curves were added, enclosing the stadium and making it the best venue in Czech Republic with a running track. Works were to be carried out by Sept 2015, but the stadium was ready for use in May.

Initially the cost was estimated to reach CZK 936 million, but eventual tender offers proved more affordable and allowed to significantly lower costs. The city of Ostrava financed most of contracted works, receiving some 100 million in subsidies.
