Poznan has fans on Facebook
Poznan has fans on Facebook The "Poznan 2014" Facebook profile has more than 30,000 fans from Europe, as well as other corners of the world. It is a very good result achieved in the course of the last 6 weeks when Poznan’s Internet campaign for the organisation of the 2nd Summer Youth Olympic Games in 2014 started with the use of such new media as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr. The Poznan profile can be visited at: www.facebook.com/poznan2014. Poznan’s rivals in the competition for the rights to host the 2014 Games are Chinese Nanjing and Mexican Guadalajara. The Games’ host will be announced on the 10th of February 2010 following the decision made by the IOC members. Official perch at the stadium A nearly 15-metre-high Christmas tree symbolising the traditional construction perch shone with three thousand lamps at the highest point of the Poznan stadium. It marks the end of the most important stage of the reconstruction of the stadium which will welcome players in just a few months. The mounting of the perch is an important event for both investors and contractors. It means the completion of works on the main structure of the stadium, which was the key stage of the Poznan stadium’s modernization. The completion of works on the main structure of the stadium means that the consortium led by Hydrobudowa Polska has put behind them the most difficult stage of modernisation of the future EURO 2012 arena. Workers built a huge skeleton whose most important part was comprised of four trusses. Their joint weight is 3,700 tonnes, which is the weight of 4 hypermarkets! Started in October and completed last week, the assembly was an extremely complicated and spectacular engineering venture, unique on the European scale. |
