The Jaskółcze Gniazdo Municipal Stadium or The Swallow's Nest (Polish: Stadion Miejski w Tarnowie) is a 16,000-capacity motorcycle speedway and association football stadium in the western outskirts of Tarnów, Poland.[1][2]

The venue is used by the speedway team Unia Tarnów,[3] who compete in the Team Speedway Polish Championship[4] and the Unia Tarnów football team. The pitch measures 104 x 68 metres.

History

[edit]

The record attendance was set on 26 September 2004, when 25,000 spectators attended the speedway match between Unia Tarnów and Atlas Wrocław.[1] Later that year on 30 December, the facility was renamed the Municipal Stadium.

In 2011, the stadium added the prefix Jaskółcze Gniazdo (the Swallow's Nest).
