Stayen is a football stadium in Sint-Truiden, Belgium. It is the home ground of STVV. The stadium holds 14,600 after its most recent rebuild.
The original stadium was built in 1927. The name "Stayen" is a local dialect word for "Staden", an old quarrter of the town on its western side. Between the 1950s and 2009 the word was normally written as "Staaien". One regularly applied soubriquest is "Hel van Stayen" ("Hell of Stayen"), used on behalf of top teams that suffer defeats in the stadium.
The Stayen Hotel is built into the north side of the stadium, and has rooms overlooking the pitch.
