The record attendance was set on 26 September 2004, when 25,000 spectators attended the speedway match between Unia Tarnów and Atlas Wrocław.[1] Later that year on 30 December, the facility was renamed the Municipal Stadium.

In 2011, the stadium added the prefix Jaskółcze Gniazdo (the Swallow's Nest).
