Attended Russian Classic Ice Hockey Match. First, the location of the stadium is inconvenient: 15 minutes fast (!!!) walk from the nearest underground station. Second, fairly long security control procedure, so one should better arrive 2 hrs in advance to access the stadium, find your sector and take the place. Third, it's not the place for ice hockey game. The sectors construction and ice rink were quite far from each other, so it was challenging to watch the game and observe what's going on on the ice. I really wonder, how the spectators could enjoy ice hockey match from the spots where the view is very limited by iron barriers as well as glasses. The last, but not least, HC SKA support. That was pathetic. How come the organizers could not provide SKA supporters with spots in order to increase overall support effeсtiveness. Moreover, the organizers did not equip the separate zone for fans, which resulted in a mess of people. It totally ruined any chance to support HC SKA. All in all, that game mustn't be hosted at the stadium constructed for FC Zenit (has nothing to do with ice hockey) and World Cup Championship 2018. In addition to that, was aimed at commemoration of Russian Ice Hockey Birthday. Every hockey fan is aware of the game HC SKA vs HC CSKA back in 1946, Dec, 22nd. Russian mentality and greediness of oligarchs who profits from such stupid events totally destroyed the spirit of hockey history. They don't care about people, they care about...

Read moreCool stadium, totaly new , it was made for the cup of confederation and now for the world cup 2018. Perfect stadium with big restrooms and snacks on every floor. The stadium in enormous but its easy to find the exit or to go to your place. On every door ypu have staff that are always willing to help and are polite as well. Its litte expensive to buy snacks inside, but bringing your own food or drinks is not allowed. The security is on the high level. The surrounding sound is perfect. I think the most important thing that the stadium is closed. During the summer and non rainy days its open, but during the cold days its closed. I recomend you to come earlier, and to leave the stadium earlier like 10 mins before end because its difficult to go in the nearest metro station. So you have to go through the bridge to ther nearest metro station wich is on the other island. On the other hand the experience just being ther is amazing. From the photos, you can see thet even the elder people are coming to see and...
