Nice stadium but far too big for Mordovia Saransk (2009 average attendance: 2,789). They'd have to get into the top division (they're not currently) and increase their attendance 10-15 times to justify building this.
You have been misinformed. In 2009 the average attendance FC Mordovia had 3920 visitors in the Second Division zone of Ural-Volga region (third level). In 2010, after five home matches in the First Division (second level), average attendance rose to 6000 spectators. Stadium 14000.
Nice idea, but somehow I think that Russia will drop the number of stadiums they actually build and use at the World Cup to 12, and that Saransk will be one of the ones cut. It has a small population compared to most of the other proposed host cities, has few tourist attractions, and a very small club team to occupy the stadium afterwards
Do not worry, this stadium will be built by 2012 to 100%. Its initial capacity will be 30,000 expandable to 45,000 if Saransk fall in the number of selected cities in World Cup 2018.
I would have thought that Saransk would be one of the cities most likely to be dropped if the number of hosts is reduced. Maybe they're trying to steal a march on others by starting construction early.
