The new stadium was opened to the public in late October of 2016 and has a capacity of 34,930. It was previously called “New Eskisehir Stadium”. Under the new sponsorship agreement, the club have changed the name to “ETI Stadium”, after the food processing company, ETI. The deal will see the stadium retain the new name for the next 10 years.
