Borisov Arena
Borisov Arena is the only stadium BATE has ever owned outright, which explains why it sits on Gagarina Street rather than in the old city centre — the club's previous home, the Municipal Stadium built in 1959, stood a few numbers down the same street but had nothing to do with this building beyond the address. Construction started on 12 November 2010, and the ground opened on 3 May 2014, with the Belarusian Cup final between Neman Grodno and Shakhtyor Soligorsk chosen for the occasion rather than a BATE fixture.
The pitch is natural turf laid to the Richter standard, with undersoil heating and irrigation built in from the start — a detail that matters more in Borisov than in most cities, given how far into the season Belarusian football runs. Capacity sits at 13,126 by BATE's own figures, though earlier planning documents put the number closer to 12,548 before the seating was expanded ahead of opening.
There is no former name to account for, no relocation story, no ground-share to untangle: the stadium was built once, for one tenant, and has not changed hands or purpose since.
