Spodek, Indoor sports arena in Katowice, Poland
The arena contains a main dome with a circular structure measuring 126 meters in diameter and reaching a height of 32 meters.
The construction of Spodek faced technical challenges due to coal deposits in the ground, leading to an 18-month suspension of work in 1964.
The venue regularly hosts the Intel Extreme Masters tournament, transforming Katowice into an international center for electronic sports competitions.
The complex includes additional facilities such as a swimming pool, ice rink, gym, and three large parking areas for visitors.
Engineers tested the building's structural integrity by having 3,500 soldiers march through the hall while measuring the vibrations of the structure.
