The design does not involve any historical or traditional references, as the idea was to create a new, contemporary image with glass façades and an aesthetic roof supported by elegant stands. The existing athletics track has been preserved for possible use as a multi-purpose facility in the future.

The stadium has 30,000 seats, two-thirds of which are covered. The complex boasts a large press centre, a bar, kitchens and a restaurant with a panoramic view of the pitch. This is a stadium that has been renovated, but anyone coming here will forget the old one and think of them as two completely different projects.

A multi-purpose pavilion, an Olympic swimming pool, a gym, cinemas, an underground car park, offices and retail outlets will be built in the surrounding area.

The project took advantage of old seats: of close to 15,000 (all seated), involves the planned remodelling of the tier which extends around the entire perimeter of the existing stands, and a second tier above that, in the form of a "U", opening onto the slopes of the city at the North end.

This venue is a relevant part of the Euro Stadium project, which includes the possibility of organizing Sports, Culture and Commercial Events.

The Estádio Cidade de Coimbra was inaugurated with a Rolling Stones concert on 27 September, attended by over 50,000 people. On 29 October, Académica de Coimbra played at home to SL Benfica, in the first official match in the remodelled stadium.
