History

In 2021, Persita Tangerang officially changed the name of the Benteng Taruna stadium to Indomilk Arena. The stadium name change was made after an agreement with their main sponsor, PT Indofood Sukses Makmur. The commercialization of the stadium name is the first in Indonesian football.{{cite web|url=https://www.tempo.co/sepakbola/persita-tangerang-ubah-nama-stadion-jadi-indomilk-arena-544802|title=Persita tanggerang ubah nama stadion|date= 13 January 2021|access-date=20 January 2021}}

In international football, the use of stadium names for commercial purposes is very common. For example, Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, Manchester City's Etihad Stadium or Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena.

Indofood itself is one of the companies that is the main sponsor for many teams in the Indonesian League. There are nine clubs that display the name Indofood on the front page of their jerseys, including Persita Tangerang.

The renovation started in May 2024. {{cite news|url=https://www.rri.co.id/sepak-bola/736797/indomilk-arena-direnovasi-transformasi-demi-pengalaman-terbaik|title=Indomilk Arena Direnovasi, Transformasi Demi Pengalaman Terbaik|last=Yulistiadi|first=Kharisma Rizky|date=5 June 2024|editor-last=Bunaiya|work=RRI|language=id}}
