Stadium "Otkritie Arena"
Today we will get acquainted with the home stadium of the football club "Spartak" - the stadium "Otkritie Arena" and will visit its most secret corners.
December 25, 2014 is the day of natural cataclysm. The strongest snowfall blocked the Moscow roads with ten-point traffic jams. Going out of the metro station "Spartak", I did not even see the stadium at once. Everything was covered with a snow shroud.
Sculpture "Gladiator", ticket offices and the stadium "Otkritie Arena". The frame was filled with snow flakes. Unfortunately, all the photos under the open sky will be with abundant snowflakes in the frame.
The stadium is brand new. September 5, 2014 in the arena was a match "Spartacus" - "Crvena Zvezda." This day is considered to be the opening day of the stadium "Otkritie Arena". "Otkritie Arena" - one of the stadiums, which will host the games of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
We pass into the stadium through the central entrance (the entrance to the podium A). Security guard.
Mortgage capsule. It was from here that in 2007 the construction of the stadium "Otkritie Arena" began.
Mixt zone. Here after the match, the press can communicate with the players and record interviews with them.
We leave on the football field.
"Spartakovskaya" bench for spare and places for coaches.
Tell me, what is this canopy? For whom?
Almost at the edge of the field, opposite the fan sector of "Spartacus", a sculptural group of brothers Starostin - Soviet football players and sports figures.
From the gate to the sculptural group of five meters, so that players need to try hard to knock on the sculpture.
The snowfall does not stop.
We go to the hall for press conferences.
Four dummies for the form of participating teams: two for the form of field players, two for the form of goalkeepers.
Lamp in the form of the emblem of "Spartacus" on the stairwells.
In the central part of the podium A VIP seats are located.
This kind of view on the field opens from these places. Now it's winter and cold, but nothing will happen to the grass on the field. From below the grass is warmed by tubes with a warm liquid, on top the grass is covered with a "breathing" film, snow, and even the lamps are heated. The grass is warm :)
Owners of tickets for VIP-places own indoor food court.
On the same podium are places for the press. Here, the press is watching the progress of the matches, and the booths of the commentators are located higher.
Ordinary places.
Let's look into the corner with the famous coaches of "Spartacus".

At the stadium "Otkritie Arena", literally every detail reminds of whose stadium it is. Even the escalator is decorated with the emblems of "Spartacus" and the stadium.
We rise to the floor with VIP-boxes. By the way, here they plan to open a museum of the football club "Spartak", but it is still in the process.
In just 120 000 € you can rent for a whole season here this VIP-lodge for 16 people. It is noteworthy that the rented box can be even around the clock, and not only during the matches at the stadium.
You can rent a free box for just one match. The rental price in this case can be 600 000 rubles.

The VIP-box also includes two small rows of seats on the platform. View of the field from VIP-lodge seats.
The entire stadium is literally stuffed with video surveillance systems. There are cameras even in the elevator. Thanks to video control and face recognition, it is possible to prevent and timely prevent illegal actions.
We finish the inspection of the stadium in the store of club attributes "Spartacus". By the way, during the winter school holidays you can go on an excursion around the stadium "Otkritie Arena". Excursions will begin on January . You can book an excursion here .
