The stadium's nickname, 'Żyleta', originally referred to a specific section of the old stadium known for its steep angle and proximity to the pitch.
The ground is built on the historical site of the Agrykola sporting grounds, which have been associated with Polish sports since the 1920s.
It is one of the few modern stadiums in Poland to maintain a compact, 'English-style' rectangular bowl shape with stands close to the touchlines.
The stadium complex contains a specialized sports bar and conference center that hosts non-sporting corporate events throughout the year.
The stadium was renamed in 2002 to honor Marshal Józef Piłsudski, a key figure in Polish independence.
