Speedway stadium in Lublin with a completed functional and utility program. Demolition works begin.

Preparations for the modernization of the speedway stadium at Al. Zygmuntowskich are underway. Geotechnical surveys and geodetic measurements of the stands have been completed, and initial work has begun on temporary stairways to improve safety for spectators. Demolition and dismantling of existing toilet and ticket office facilities are also in progress.

At the same time, the Functional and Utility Program (PFU) has been completed – a key document that will serve as the basis for announcing a “design and build” tender.

“We are moving from the preparatory phase to the stage of visible changes at the stadium. In the coming days, we will begin demolition works that will pave the way for full-scale modernization. The project is progressing according to schedule and will soon gain momentum. Fans can already see concept visualizations of the new facility — a modern, multifunctional, and roofed stadium. These images illustrate the direction of change and serve as inspiration for the final design solutions that will be developed as part of the project documentation,” says Tomasz Fulara, Deputy Mayor of Lublin for Investment and Development.

Tender in the “design and build” formula

According to the current schedule, the City of Lublin plans to announce a “design and build” tender later in 2025. This will allow for the selection of a contractor in the first quarter of 2026, with construction to begin once all required approvals – including those from PGE Ekstraliga – are secured.

The planned redevelopment and expansion of the existing speedway stadium will transform it into a modern sports and entertainment venue, designed to host not only speedway competitions, but also a wide range of other sports and cultural events.

The new facility will be adaptable for supercross, karting, drifting, mini speedway, as well as concerts, fairs, exhibitions, and activities such as bouldering, tennis, and climbing (both lead and speed disciplines). Ultimately, the stadium will accommodate 15,000 to 20,000 spectators, with numbered seating, modern technical and media facilities, VIP areas, and a full roof structure.

Stages of implementation

The modernization will be carried out in ten stages, which may be executed independently or in different configurations.
The first three stages include the renovation of stands in sectors C1-C2, C3-C4, and C5-C7.

Subsequent stages involve shortening the track and increasing the safety zone between the track and the stands to a minimum of four meters, constructing a pedestrian bridge over the Bystrzyca River, and building stands in sectors A1-A3 and B1-B2, which will include areas for families and people with disabilities.

The scope of the project also includes the construction of new stands, including a visitor sector, and a new main grandstand with facilities for referees, the media, and athletes. The main building will house VIP boxes, sanitary and social facilities, and an underground car park.

In addition, the project provides for the creation of a paddock (machine park), new entrance zones from Al. Zygmuntowskich, modernized lighting and sound systems, and urban furniture and landscaping elements.

The final stage will focus on redeveloping the stadium’s main field, making it suitable for concerts, exhibitions, and other large-scale events. The last element of the modernization will be the construction of a permanent roof covering the stands, the track, and the entire arena floor.

Implementation of this stage will depend on potential amendments to the local spatial development plan, which will be preceded by a detailed acoustic analysis of the facility.
