The Stadion Miejski (English: Municipal Stadium) is located in Białystok, Poland. It is currently used mostly for association football matches and is the home ground of Jagiellonia Białystok. The stadium is also known as the Stadion Jagiellonii Białystok (English: Jagiellonia Białystok Stadium) in connection with its most common host.
The stadium recently underwent major redevelopment, completed at the end of 2014, it now contains 22,432 seats. Full cost of the redevelopment is not clear as the city had to terminate contract with one contractor, Polish-French Eiffage Mitex consortium. Both parties agreed on PLN 168 million (US$60 million) in 2010, but finances are not settled. In 2012 construction was taken over by new contractors, Spanish-Polish consortium of OHL and Hydrobudowa agreed to finish all remaining work at a cost of PLN 254 million (US$75 million).
From 19 September 2024, the stadium is called Chorten Arena for sponsorship reasons.
