Stadion Miejski w Bielsku-Białej
Bielsko-Biała, Poland
Formerly: Stadion BKS Stal, Stadion Podbeskidzia, Bielska Twierdza
The nickname stuck long before the concrete did: Бельская крепость is what people in the town call the ground on улица Тадеуша Рыхлиньского, and for most of its life it belonged to another club entirely — it was Стадион БКС Сталь until the late 1990s, and БКС Сталь still play matches here alongside the tenant that arrived in 1999, ТС Подбескидзе .
The rebuild that gave the ground its present shape ran from 2012 to 2015, to a design by the Warsaw practice АТЙ Архитекци , with Бельске Пшедсембёрство Будовництва Пшемысловего as main contractor. It came in stages rather than all at once: the east stand opened on 30 июня 2015, and the finished stadium was formally opened on 8 октября 2016.
On 20 мая 2023, an Экстракласса match against Вислой Краков drew 13 745, though the home side lost 0:3. The same figure had been reached once before, in a friendly on 22 марта 2018, when Польша U-20 met Англия U-20 and lost 0:1.
Youth football has a long claim on the place. It staged matches at the 1978 European Under-18 Championship, and returned to that role at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup. That summer it also took a concert: the 90' Festival, on 20 июля 2019.
