quite an improvement from their current stadium, where are they going to put this?

Neda Say · September 26th, 2006, 11:27 AM

very nice one good location, retractable roof and pitch. Although having the pitch unprotected during a russian winter because there's a convention in the arena seems a bit ridiculous.

ver nice project

billyandmandy · January 23rd, 2007, 07:04 PM

looks good.

mrk · January 24th, 2007, 05:46 PM

it looks bigger than the stated capacity, more like 80000 seats, i wonder whether it will sell out for many games

Great stadium in a great city (too bad about the name though!). Any construction updates or schedules?

mr.x · January 24th, 2007, 11:47 PM

that's awesome!

Realek · January 25th, 2007, 04:52 AM

It's a work of art

NEWWORLD · January 25th, 2007, 05:43 AM

legslikeaspider · January 25th, 2007, 11:06 AM

another great way to spend the squandered billions of the russian people.

MikeTheGreek · January 25th, 2007, 11:06 AM

Yeah, it's really good!

skaP187 · January 25th, 2007, 02:53 PM

wasn't there allready a thread about this stadium?
It's big, it's bad, it's Russian and I like it and it has a nice location!

SkyLerm · January 25th, 2007, 05:53 PM

Woooow thats what i call "stadium"

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.

CharlieP · January 26th, 2007, 07:25 PM

It's definitely the same site - you can see the rowing lake in the bottom right rendering as well as this aerial of the Kirov:

Realek · January 26th, 2007, 08:06 PM

What was the capacity of Kirov stadium and when was it build?

Quintana · January 26th, 2007, 08:19 PM

Capacity: 72,000
Built: 1950

EADGBE · January 29th, 2007, 02:56 PM

They did the same thing in Leipzig with the old Zentralstadion (which looked very similar), turning an old Eastern Bloc-style bowl site into a modern stadium. If you remember, Leipzig was one of last year's World Cup venues.

A stadium bowl in every sense of the word...
