Orzeł Łódź old stadium, Military sports stadium in Old Polesie, Łódź, Poland.
Orzeł Łódź was a sports stadium in the Old Polesie district that served for many years as a venue for speedway motorcycle racing. The facility featured a specially designed racing circuit with curves and straightaways along with spectator stands.
The facility was founded in 1921 as a sports ground under military administration and initially served football teams of the infantry regiments stationed in the area. After World War II, it was transformed into a speedway racing center.
The venue served as the main gathering place for speedway racing fans in the region, drawing crowds who came to watch the sport's thrilling races. The location became synonymous with this type of motorsport in Łódź's sporting life.
The original stadium is no longer intact, as the west stand and racing circuit were dismantled to make way for a new facility built on an adjacent site. Visitors can explore the location today to understand its history, though only limited physical remnants remain visible.
The stadium remained under the management of Garnizonowy Wojskowy Klub Sportowy Orzeł after the war, a club with military roots that maintained the connection to its original purpose. This continuity shows how the place preserved its identity despite changing uses.
