Planning[]

On 7 October 2013, it was announced that a UEFA stadium category C stadium will be built in "British-style" in Miskolc. 4,5 billion HUF will be guaranteed for the construction by the Hungarian government. The new arena will be able to host about 15,000 spectators. The whole old stadium will be demolished except for the newly built stand. Behind the goals two new stands will be built which will be able to host 2,800 spectators each, while the new main stand will host 6,000 fans. The mayor of Miskolc, Ákos Kriza, pointed out that the infrastructure has to be fixed around the stadium.[5]

On 28 November 2013, Ákos Kriza and László Sebestyén announced that the government approved the construction of a new stadium. The available budget for the reconstruction is 4,5 billion HUF.[6]

On 25 February 2014, László Sebestyén, Hungarian Parliament MP, announced that the reconstruction will be started in the summer of 2014. The athletics track will be removed from the stadium. There will be 350 million HUF for a new track at the sports centre of the University of Miskolc. The new stadium will be built in British style i.e. the stands will be as close as possible to the pitch.[7]

On 10 September 2014, the Diósgyőri Stadionrekonstrukciós Ltd. and Ministry of Human Resource (in Hungarian: Emberi Erőforrások Minisztériuma) signed the contract in connection with the reconstruction of the new stadium.[8]

On 18 September 2014, it was announced that, during the reconstruction, Diósgyőr will play their home matches at the Miskolci VSC's stadium in Miskolc.[9]

On 9 February 2015, the new 4 UEFA stadium category stadium became a highlighted project of the Nemzeti Stadionfejlesztési Program (National Stadium Development Program). From the 2015 budget the project will receive 2.75 billion HUF. In addition, the project will receive another 800 million HUF the same year. In 2016, 2.7 billion HUF will be available for the reconstruction.[10]

The new stadium will be able to host 15,325 spectators. There will be 19 skyboxes, 13 buffets, .[11]

Construction[]

On 1 December 2016 the construction of the stadium officially started. Ákos Kriza, mayor of Miskolc, said that there are historic constructions in the city of Miskolc including the athletic tracks in the stadium of Miskolci VSC. Ervin Pásztor, managing director of Diósgyőri Stadionrekonstrukciós Kft, and Tamás Szabó, managing director of Diósgyőri VTK were present.[12]

On 19 October 2017, the pitch was covered with grass after the heating system was installed.[13]

On 30 January 2018, it was announced that major delays are expected concerning the opening of the new stadium.[14]

On 29 March 2018, the floodlights were switched on.[15]
