Located in Szczecin, Poland, the Florian Krygier Municipal Stadium has recently completed a modernisation programme that includes the installation of a new sound system based on RCF P Series loudspeakers.
Built in 1925 and named after Florian Krygier – a coach who was an instrumental figure in the history of the resident foota]ball team, Pogoń Szczecin – its management transferred to the Municipal Sports, Recreation & Rehabilitation Centre (Miejski Ośrodek Sportu, Rekreacji i Rehabilitacji - MOSRiR) in 1989. Until the beginning of 2007, it was the most prominent facility in the Polish Orange Ekstraklasa football league. It currently hosts football matches and is the home stadium of Pogoń Szczecin.
The ground itself recently underwent a complete modernisation, leaving only part of the original stadium is in place. A significant reconstruction started in 2019 with planned completion scheduled for 2022, which includes the Training Centre for Children and Youth (Centrum Szkolenia Dzieci i Młodzieży), remodelling and expanding the stadium, football fields, and associated infrastructure. The new stadium will have a capacity of 20,500 and offer 22,000sq-m covered area. It can be made a ‘closed’ stadium with four grandstands and roof.
The first phase of modernisation in the west and south grandstands of the stadium has been completed with the new RCF sound system. All of the RCF P 6215 loudspeakers are suspended from the roof of the stadium in vertical clusters, two speakers per cluster.
‘We are going to hear a qualitative leap [in sound quality] during football matches,’ says the stadium presenter/commentator Adam Wosik, who has taken part in testing the RCF system. ‘If we will build the new stadium with the quality of the sound system, then it is going to be a Champions League facility.’
The sound system was been delivered and installed in cooperation with Elektro BUD Sp, who provided the electrical infrastructure and wiring of the sound system.
