Pruszków and Ząbki are towns near Warsaw, they are not part of the city of Warsaw. However, in Warsaw itself there are several very interesting stadiums, such as RKS Okęcie (1929), RKS Marymont (1911), RKS Ursus (1935) and Bemowski Ośrodek Piłki Nożnej where various teams from district leagues and even goalkeepers of Legia Warszawa and even the Warsaw American Football League team.
They REALLY love their speedway. Once at my mother-in-law's you could hear the sound of motorbikes noisily going round in circles from miles out. Meanwhile, the ice hockey team barely gets much notice in comparison.
It depends on the region. As a Pole I can say that speedway exists only in 8-10 big cities in the western part of the country, in particular. Stadiums there are full, 10 000 fans support their clubs regularly. In other regions it is quite exotic to such na extent that many people even do not know rules of that sport. The same applies to hockey, the only difference is that it is popular in the south where the mountains are located. All league teams come from southwestern parts of the country. It is difficult to meet anyone who is into hockey in other Polish regions. Football prevails everywhere, it is in our blood and all other disciplines are only the shadow, that is the reality in Poland.
@@dumastolicy1761 She's from Torun....where the Elana fans want to have fights with the "Apatorka" - I stay out of both camps and go to the Tor Tor for the ice hockey. I'm not joking that if we were to relocate back to her home town, I would 100% have a Energa Torun season ticket! I've even got an (away) jersey to prove it. One other thing I remember is being at Stoczniowiec Gdansk's venue as it doubles up as a hotel. I was sorely tempted to ask the receptionists that I would pay good money to watch the team train. Some other time, I guess. I've come to know Poland's love for football for better or worse. Hearing Lech Poznan's fans chanting loudly when I'm about to get on the train has the "please make them stop" reaction.
@@dumastolicy1761WESTERN part? What about the reigning back-to-back champions from my hometown of Lublin? What about Orzeł Łódź? Stal Rzeszów? Wilki Krosno? There is speedway beyond the west of Poland. Hell, even Warsaw had a speedway team not that long ago ;)
most of these need some renovations or expansions I think. Besides the national stadium only the Stadion Wojska Polskiego were really decent. That will be my favourite. I know you didn't ask me but what's your favourite?
I just wish that the Wide World of Stadiums would return to the original fast paced fancy music rather than the commentary that doesn't do much for me...
Always admire your bravery in pronouncing the venues in their native languages. I'd give up and say "the big one" or "the white one".

You should do stadiums and arenas of Zagreb!

Another banger my friend!! ❤ love your work!
Polish sure do love speedway, huge sport over there, you should do video on their tracks/stadiums
please do WHL stadiums next!
Please do a video on the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area. Home to 7.3 million and most likely the greatest number of stadiums in Canada.
Stay tuned!
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums That would be fantastic.
