During the fall of communism in Poland, and the years of economic hardship that followed, the club's performance declined and the stadium lacked funding for maintenance and repair. The structure of the stadium gradually deteriorated until in 2007 when the Mielec City Council voted to draft the reconstruction of the stadium, and construction work followed in 2011-2013. The modernised stadium, while reduced in capacity, has already served to revitalise the club's performance with Stal Mielec advancing to the I Liga in 2016. Mielec City Council is currently looking for more sponsorship opportunities, with the possibility of leasing the naming rights of the stadium.
