Judging from the grass bank surround (lower right pic), I'd say it was on the site of the current Communist-era Kirov Stadium, which is on the banks of the Neva.





This is the only picture I can find that was taken from outside the ground.



I think the big, grassy banks around the perimeter are the giveaway.

Wonderful from the outside at least. Is it just the render, or are those huge pillars actually going to be set inside the bowl? There seems to be a lot of pillars all around the inside of the stadium. For a new build of this magnitude, that's ridiculous.

It will have a retractable roof - 200 by 90 meters - and will be held by metal masts.
The stadium will also have a membrane, which, when inflated with hot air, will melt ice and snow.
The field can also be moved outside the stadium, which will help keep the natural turf intact.
The stairs will also be retractable, which will make the stadium more like a constructor set.

The director of the company said that the stadium will be lit up by a million light bulbs,
which will make it "first purple, then red, any color you want".

The stadium will be completed in 2009. The stadium will have the capacity to hold
62167spectators. The construction cost is estimated to be $225 149 000.
