The stadium opened in 1977 and has been primarily used for speedway racing since its inception. It is one of the most important and well-known speedway stadiums in Poland. In front of the stadium stands a statue of Alfred Smoczyk – an outstanding Polish speedway rider, the 1949 Polish champion, who tragically died in a motorcycle accident. He was associated with Leszno and the Unia Leszno club.

Absolutely worth visiting if you can, but hard visit on a bike as the track leading to it is too sandy for gravel bikes at times. The area around the ruin in well maintained and there quite a few small statues people have put in and on the walls. Very atmospheric.
