Diósgyőri Stadion, Former football stadium in Diósgyőr, Miskolc, Hungary
Diósgyőri Stadion was a multi-purpose stadium in Miskolc whose western Main Stand was built in 1939. In 1968 three other wings with a grass surface and a tartan-covered running track were added, and the complex also held a grass training field built in 1977 and an artificial-turf field with lighting from 2006. Its capacity was about 17,000, with 4,641 seats.
Diósgyőri Stadion opened in 1939; before that, DVTK played beside a local diner near the Ironworks. A 1968 expansion raised capacity to about 22,000, the largest outside Budapest, and on 27 November 1968 about 35,000 watched Diósgyőr play Ferencváros. The 1939 Main Stand was renovated in 2005–2006, and the stadium was demolished from October 2014 to make way for a new arena.
The stadium serves as a focal point for Diósgyőri VTK supporters and the broader Miskolc community. Local fans gather here to share in the passion of football and local pride.
The venue is accessible via nearby tram service and offers dedicated parking for visitors. Plan to arrive early on match days, as crowds build up before games begin.
The stadium's most famous section was the Csáki-stand, named after the supporter József Csáki. The eastern wing of the 40-year-old stand was demolished in 2009 and 2010, and for the club's 100th anniversary a covered stand with 3,137 seats was built, called the "Sunny wing" because afternoon sun made it hard for fans to follow matches.
