The inspiration of architects designing the stadium was natural beauty of amber, associated with Gdańsk inseparably. It is why the facade of PGE Arena is covered with tiles in various shades of brown reminding of amber.

These functionalities include a conference centre (with VIP restaurant), stores, pubs, commercial and service area under the stadium. Lechia Sports Club games, concerts of music celebrities and other events will be mostly 1- or 2-day ones, held mainly in weekends. To fully utilise potential of the facility, an important element of its future exploitation will be the very use of none-event days, which will make it possible for the stadium to become a place teeming with life.

It is the reason for a number of significant changes introduced during implementation of the project, which included among other things designing a commercial area for various types of business and service activity, totalling 9,000 sq. m.
