History

The original ground

The ground has hosted football games since 1924. The original stadium, built for association football club ŁKS Łódź, had a combination of grandstands and standing areas, and hosted a maximum crowd of 45,000 on August 21, 1971, when ŁKS Łódź and Polonia Bytom played to a 0–0 draw. The stands were renovated at various times, and by 2001 the field had seating for 12,160 fans, in sections built in various time periods.[1]

A new stadium was planned on the same site.[2] In November 2013 a contract was finally signed to begin construction of the new stadium with Mirbud, with completion within 20 months. Initially only one stand with a capacity of 5,700 seats was built.[3]

The construction of the remaining three tribunes started in September 2019.[4] The completed stadium was opened in 2022.

On 24 May 2021, the President of the City of Łódź Hanna Zdanowska signed a bylaw granting the Stadion Miejski named after pre-war footballer and hockey player Władysław Król.[5]
