Isachsen Stadion, until 2012 known as Nedre Eiker Stadion, and until 2015 as Mjøndalen Arena is a football stadium located at Mjøndalen in Nedre Eiker, Norway. It is the home ground of Mjøndalen IF in the Tippeligaen, providing a capacity for 4,350 spectators. The venue was completely renovated in 2011-12 and received artificial turf. After promotion to the 2015 Tippeligaen season, Mjøndalen increased the capacity to 4,350 and sold the stadium name to the contractor, Isachsen Gruppen.[1]

During the team's golden age from the late 1960s through the 1980s, the stadium hosted UEFA Cup and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup games.[3]
