The White Eagle Municipal Stadium (Polish: Stadion Miejski im. Orła Białego) is a football stadium in Legnica, Poland, located in the City Park along White Eagle Avenue. The owner of the facility is the city, and the stadium is managed by the Legnica Sports and Recreation Center.
The stadium is primarily used by the football team Miedź Legnica. It was renovated between 2005 and 2009. The stadium can accommodate 6,156 spectators. In further stages of modernization, plans included the construction of lighting (four masts), filling the stadium's corners to close the structure, installing a heated pitch, fully roofing the stadium, and implementing an electronic stadium management system (electronic entry cards, etc.). The project was scheduled for completion between 2009 and 2011. In 2011, training fields were completed near the stadium (including two football fields, each 105 m x 68 m, one with an artificial surface, an athletics track, lighting, and stands for around 200 spectators).
