Stadium
Legia plays its games on Marshal Józef Piłsudski Polish Army Stadium (Polish: Stadion Wojska Polskiego imienia Marszałka Józefa Piłsudskiego), an all-seater football-specific stadium in Warsaw, Poland. Legia has been playing there since August 9, 1930. With space for 31,800 spectators it is the 5th biggest football stadium in Ekstraklasa. The stadium has undergone a significant reconstruction between 2008 and 2011, during which all of the all stands were demolished and replaced with bigger and more modern ones. Consequently the stadium's capacity increased from 13,500 to 31,800 seats. Former Polish Army Stadium is currently owned by the City of Warsaw. On the basis of sponsorship agreement with PepsiCo the stadium has been named Pepsi Arena for commercial purposes.
