The previous stadium has a capacity of 10,500 seats, with only part of the West Stand covered.

After many proposals over the years and speculation about a replacement for Widzew Stadium (including for UEFA Euro 2012), a definitive redevelopment was started in 2014.

Until the stadium was completed Widzew played their home games at Piotrków Trybunalski.

Lodz Mosty had until 24 January 2015 to present a finalised stadium design.

The stadium was also designed to accommodate Rugby, including local club Budowlani Łódź, and concerts.
