The stadium is also known as the Stadion Podbeskidzia Bielsko-Biała (English: Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała Stadium) in connection with its most common host. Sometimes the stadium is called Stadion BBOSiR (English: BBOSiR Stadium) after the facility operator, but in fact the above-mentioned name refers to the stadium at ul. Młyńska 52 in Bielsko-Biała.[3]
It was built in 1927, reconstructed 30 years later and rebuilt in 2015. Now the stadium is football-specific, although in the past it had athletic track. Since August 2012 venue was under another reconstruction that cost 75 million zł.[4] The stadium was finished in June 2015 (although officially opened in October 2016) and its capacity increased to 14,993 seats.
The stadium hosted two matches of 1978 UEFA European Under-18 Championship and several matches of the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
