==History==
<!--------------------------------------------->
It was decided to build the Silesia Stadium in 1950 and Julian Brzuchowski was chosen as its designer. Silesia Stadium was completed in 1956, together with the [[Stadion Dziesięciolecia|10th Anniversary Stadium]] ({{lang-pl|Stadion Dziesięciolecia}}) in [[Warsaw]]. On 22 July 1956, it hosted its first event - a friendly game with the [[East Germany national football team]] (2:0 for the Germans). Electric lighting was installed in 1959.

===Upcoming events===
Initially designed to hold 87,000 people, it was often filled by crowds ranging between 90,000 and 100,000. On [[September 18]], [[1963]], it held a record number of spectators (120,000) during a [[UEFA Champions League|European Cup]] match between [[Górnik Zabrze]] and [[FK Austria Wien]]. However, the enforcement of international security standards forced the stadium's authorities to reduce its number of seats.

===Deaths in October===
In 1993, the stadium was designated as the official home stadium of the [[Polish national football team]]. In the 1990s, the stadium was converted to an all-seater stadium, reducing the capacity to 47,246. Currently, there are plans to expand its capacity to 70,000 and to construct a roof over the stadium.
<!--
Include when a newsworthy death is reported. At the start of a month, use:
* ''None reported so far''<br />
Proposed guideline: "no more than 3 or 4 at a time; truly significant figures only; died within the past week; delete on 7th day if not pushed off before". Please add sports-related deaths only. DISPUTED - keep a whole month's worth, see talk page. ALTERNATE SUGGEST - final list should include 8-10 most prominent, see talk page.
