Strahov Stadium
The Great Strahov Stadium (Czech: Velký strahovský stadion) is a stadium in the Strahov district of Prague, Czech Republic. With a capacity of around 220,000, it is the largest stadium in the world, and the second largest sports facility worldwide after the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Today, it is no longer in use for sports events; it is a training centre for Sparta Prague, and is used to host pop concerts. The stadium is sited on Petřín hill overlooking the old city. It can be accessed by taking the Petřín funicular up the hill through the gardens.
