• Close to the city's airport, the Municipal Stadium is renowned for its excellent atmosphere. Renovation work began in 2003 to briefly make it the biggest club ground in Poland before the completion of EURO venues in Wroclaw and Gdansk.

• The renovated stadium was opened on 20 September 2010 with a concert by British rock star Sting backed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra. Other performers included Polish band Indios Bravos and singer Anna Maria Jopek.

• A goal from Manuel Arboleda set Lech on course for a 2-0 victory over FC Salzburg in their first game at the revamped stadium on 30 September 2010, in the UEFA Europa League group stage.

• The Municipal Stadium, scene of Spain's 2006 UEFA European Under-19 Championship triumph, hosted its first senior international on 17 November 2010 as two Robert Lewandowski goals helped Poland to a 3-1 win against the Ivory Coast.

• This is the sixth stadium Lech have called home in their 90-year history, since starting out on an unremarkable pitch near Grzybowa Street in the south of the city.
