Construction of Konya Torku Arena was launched in October 2012 and went on to end in under 2 years despite some harsh weather conditions. Opening took place in September 2014, as the Super Lig kicked off.
In the end the stadium grew significantly from initial plans, exceeding 42,000 seats. This number includes 55 skyboxes spreading over west and east sides (920 seats). There are also three significant restaurants and a complex hospitality zone in the west stand.
