[9] Villarreal won the match, defeating Manchester United 11–10 on the penalty shootout after the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

The facade and the roof are covered with 18 000 plates of polycarbonate multiwall sheet, in 6 shades, with a total area of 4.5 hectares.

The issue of installing a sliding roof was considered, but the idea was abandoned due to costs and limited time to complete the construction.

[11] In addition to the sky-boxes, stadium offers 1383 seats of higher standard (VIP places) for the more affluent guests.

The venue's name is in reference to the previous Lechia Gdańsk stadium's address: Traugutta 29.

T29 Sports Bar & Restaurant is situated in the north part of the stadium, just below the visiting team's supporters sector.

[18][19] The stadium was built specifically for the UEFA European Football Championship, which was held in 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.

The first conceptual design of the stadium has been presented by the city of Gdańsk before the tournament host's choice.

On 2 April 2008, work began on preparing the ground for the construction of the stadium, including liquidation of allotments, felling of trees and shrubs.

[25] Within the next year main steel and concrete structure was completed and the ceremony of topping out took place at 24 July 2010.

The match between Lechia Gdańsk and Cracovia ended in 1–1 draw and the first goalscorer at the new stadium was Fred Benson.

[29] The stadium is located in the northern part of the city, across the Martwa Wisła River, in the Letnica district.

Moreover, on every match day, special free of charge SKM (Fast Urban Railway) line leads from Gdańsk Główny railway station to Gdańsk Stadium Expo station located near the stadium.

Instead, the match against Germany, which had been scheduled to be played at the Stadion Narodowy was moved to Gdansk (due to the fact that the stadium in Warsaw wasn't complete).

On 17 September 2021, Stadion Gdańsk hosted its first game played by the Poland women's national football team, a 2023 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Belgium.

A 1–1 draw was spectated by 8,011 people, breaking the then-record for the highest attendance during the biało-czerwone's home fixture.

[33] In August 2024, the Polish Football Association signed a three-year deal with the stadium's owners and operators to establish it as the home venue of the Poland women's team.

[34] Along initial design by Rhode-Kellermann-Wawrowsky, all seats were to create a mosaic of yellow and orange in various tones, which was to match the 'amber' facades and roof.

However, after the final proposed layout was presented, Lechia Gdansk supporters launched a protest to block the move.

This was accepted by supporters and stayed intact with the overall concept as amber can also be greenish (though not usually found on Polish shores, more common in the Caribbean).

[39] Later, in October 2012, some seats were also painted white to read "LECHIA GDAŃSK" in order to allow fans to identify with the venue more.

[40] The decision was made by Lechia Gdansk safety manager in order to prevent racist incidents.
