Well obviously concrete is the material to use but I meant in a more aesthetic way, it just looks like cheap plastic seats stuck awkwardly onto masses of concrete, it's not that easy on the eye, especially when compared with some of the newer contemporaries. It's just got the whole Soviet Union design vibe.

The UCL final is a toss up between Scum and Evil. With any luck the Russian hooligans will sort them all out.

The exterior is nice and the interior reminds me of wembley (old) in some ways. I like the way all the fans are on the same tier which i think should help the atmosphere, is going to be an amazing night!

That's it they are laying the natural pitch for the final as I write this! Sorry got no pics!

[vladorlando]

Pitch is real too far ! It is not good place for soccer games. Very impact outside,but inside with this colors of chairs !!!
By the way - this was place where billioneer- women -Baturina took first big money in 1996 . She got order to produce of 80 000 plastic chairs for this stadion . Small plastic fabric with production of plastic spoons, caps and other trash changed into big building corporation now. I guess this was easy money - from one year she was married with Moscow major - Lushkov !


One from a lot buildings built by Baturina s corporation in Moscow .



I d like to be major s wife in next life !

so 17 000 seats were not useable due to the press?... that seems like a large number

[www.sercan.de]

press and like other Atletic stadiums the first rows stayed empty because of the bad view at a football match

Attendance at CL 2005 Final in Istanbul was 70,024.
Capacity of the stadium is 75,486

a 5000 seat drop off seems normal.. but 17 000, that number seems too large

[Carrerra]

What will happen to the natural grass which was specially installed for CL Finale? Is it permanent or temporary?

The press area was extremely big as i remember.
And maybe it was'nt sold out?
And the UEFA capacity is 79,530
79,530 - 67,310 = 12,220
12,220 - 5,000 (first rows)
7,220 - press etc.

~ maybe 5,000 not sold seats?

He says he admires this stadium but wishes it was used more often.

Great stadium and traditions
Великий стадион

[salaverryo]

Too Sovietski, a thing of the past. No good for soccer, the stands are miles from the pitch. Grand exterior, though.

[en1044]

they should take out a whole bunch of rows at the top to make room for a whole bunch of suites, the lower the field, take out the track, and add seats. Make the seats a nice dark red and there you go.

I don't agree with you. Aside from the historical value of the stadium, the gaps between stand and pitch are so huge there that they would have to dig enormously deep in the ground to have proper sightlines, which might cause a serious damage to the stadium itself.
