In the years 2003–2010, the stadium underwent a complete reconstruction, including the building of four new fully covered stands.[6] Currently it is the fifth-largest stadium in Poland (after National Stadium, Silesian Stadium, Stadion Wrocław and Stadion Gdańsk) and third largest in Ekstraklasa (after the latter two).[7] The grand opening after final renovation took place on 20 September 2010, with Sting's Symphonicity Tour concert.
From July 2023 the stadium is called ENEA Stadion, because of a sponsorship reasons.[8]
