Wow very good design! respect for the architect. This stadium looks very strong for ' only' 30 000. I like the strong lines from the ring of skyboxes and there is even a little joke with these lines.
You realy think it is a two ring stadium but when you look at the last pic you can see the two rings actualy excist out of 8 seperate stands hold together by the 'strong' lines from the skyboxes. Very nice!

Great stadium, has a good capacity.

It´s a beautiful stadium. Not a fan of the outside though.

Does Lokomotiv play here for every European match? I think I remember them playing in Luzhniki and got me thinking we they didn´t play here.

Yes, it does. They really played at few other stadiums in Moscow and Moscow Region during rebuilding of Lokomotiv stadium in 2000-2002. At the old Lokomotiv stadium they reached semifinals of European Cup Winners' Cup in 1997-98 and 1998-99. I'm remember semifinal in 1999 against Lazio Roma (1-1 and 0-0).

I personally was at this new stadium in those two seasons (2002-03 and 2003-04), when Lokomotiv passed first group round of the Champions League and saw matches against Real Madrid, AC Milan, Monaco, Dynamo Kyiv, Arsenal and Inter. But now, unfortunately, Lokomotiv don't playing at such European level.

Ehhh, few years ago they kicked out Inter from Champions League:

jackass94 · May 29th, 2011, 10:45 AM

By far the most comfortable arena in Russia

PaulFCB · May 29th, 2011, 11:17 PM

As of now, yes. I don't know about the future Moscow stadiums, but it's by far one of my favorite Eastern European stadiums.
I still don't understand how Lokomotiv managed to build a new stadium, practically a decade before CSKA, Spartak and even Dynamo, that look like richer teams and also have more fans in Moscow.
I heard something about them having good relationships with the government during those years but I don't know any details, something linked with Ministry of Transport in any case.
The stadium was used by teams like Spartak of CSKA in the European Cups.

Also thanks to the steep stands it always gave me the impression it's much bigger than it is ( ~28.000 ), the only minus seems to be it's location in the city, as seen in the photo above.

What minus? It's located far from the central part of city, but near the Metro station "Cherkizovskaya". Is it minus for you?

PaulFCB · May 30th, 2011, 01:02 AM

The last photo seems to prove the contrary. It's pretty close to that forest and as I checked on Google Maps it's quite at the edge of the city and almost 10 km from the Red Square also. So we can all it anything but central. Beyond it all I can see is an industrial zone...
Having a metro station is good, but I couldn't possibly know it exists

Of course, CL games in Russia are played at 20:30 local time, right? So by 22:30 there should be no problem in catching one but what are the Moscow Metro hours? Non-stop?

jackass94 · May 30th, 2011, 08:42 AM

Moscow Metro hours are from 5:25 till 01:00 so it won't be a problem to catch a train

It's wrong scale. Yes, you can see Elk Island national park, but it's located in few minutes walk from the next Metro station - "Ulitsa Podbelskogo". It's not near the stadium.

Do you have stadiums in historical centre of city?

This is a wrong decision. You can never find stadiums in historical centres of Roma, London, Paris, Milan and so on... Anyway, it's need to run only 22-24 minutes from the Metro station near Red Square.

Do you mean railways? But it's not located near stadium. If I go from Metro station to the stadium, that I don't need cross the road:

Metro station closed in 1:00am. So, I don't see problem with it. I remember that in 2002 the last matches of group round (Barcelona-Galatasaray and Lokomotiv-Brugge) were started in 9:30pm by Moscow time and finished in 11:20pm.

AlekseyVT · May 30th, 2011, 09:10 AM

Here is way from Metro station to the stadium:

Hm, why "MOSCOW - Lokomotiv Stadion (30,075)" thread is moved from "Completed" to "RUSSIA - Stadium and Arena Development News"?

I'm also don't understand it. This stadium was completed 9 years ago. There is no necessary in development.
