The Hala Sportowa im. Tadeusza Ruta is not a football ground. It sits at ul. Misiągiewicza 10 in Przeworska place where the new hall stands in their stead. The building opened in the winter of 2003 and has kept its name ever since.
Inside, the dimensions are standard for a multi-purpose hall. When SPR Orzeł Przeworsk played handball here, the sound of the ball against the floor carried further than the distance between the stands, and the crowd did not need to shout to be heard. The surface is not marked for football, but the lines can be adjusted for futsal or basketball, and the hall has hosted both, along with volleyball and table tennis. The hall itself is plain; its strength lies in the fact that it is the only indoor venue of any size in the town, and the community turns to it when the weather keeps them indoors.
The hall is managed by the municipal sports centre, which also runs the facilities around it, and the tenants are local. SPR Orzeł Przeworsk, a handball side in the I Liga, uses the hall for training and matches, while the futsal and table tennis sections of the club hold their sessions here. The annual Memorial of Witold Rolski takes place within these walls, bringing together families and former players in a way that the outdoor pitches cannot. The Burmistrz's Cup for youth and veterans has also been staged here, a tournament that relies on the proximity of the teams rather than the quality of the grass. The hall does not host international visitors; it hosts the people who live in Przeworsk.
The capacity is small, but the room feels larger when the stands are full. The roof does not echo, and the lighting is even, which makes it a practical choice for events that need to run on a schedule rather than on the weather. The town does not need a cathedral for sport; it needs a hall that can be locked up at night and opened again in the morning. This is that hall, and it has served the purpose since the doors first opened.
