The new stadium was built in the same place where the old stadium was located. Its construction began on September 18, 2007. Stands of the old stadium opened in 1985 were created on artificial hills. The large part (about 65%) of them, was demolished in the early stage of construction. The playing ground has been moved nearly 20 meters compared to the old stadium. Stadion Miejski is not the modernization of the old facility – it has been completely built from scratch.
Construction of the new stadium took place in two stages. First stage provided for the construction of three stand was completed in early 2009. In the second stage the main stand was built, with the press center and VIP section. Construction cost per single chair was about 1817.5 €.

The advantages of the new stadium are also one-level stands, which affect the quality of doping. Their height is 14 feet.[4] All seats are covered. Steel roof structure is supported by 52 concrete pillars, the weight of each is 24 tons. The stadium is lit by 150 floodlights, whose total illuminance is 2000 lux, enabling broadcasting of matches in High Definition.
On the main stand, the press center was established, which includes a conference room, a press center, two TV studios, 10 tables for the press, 10 desktops with 3 seats for television and radio commentator, and platforms for the cameras. Also, on the main stand is located 600 VIP category seats and 100 SuperVIP seats. Moreover, there are 32 places for disabled persons.[5]
