VTB Arena

Moscow, Russia

VTB Arena is a planned multi-purpose stadium in Moscow, Russia. The old Dynamo Stadium was closed for demolition in 2008, and the new VTB Arena was built in its place. The final design of the new stadium was done by David Manica of MANICA Architecture, and the construction is scheduled to be finished in 2017. The project is slated to be called VTB Arena, but VTB Bank is currently attempting to sell the naming rights. The football stadium will have a capacity of 27,000, that can be adjusted up to 45,000, or down to an undisclosed number, while the indoor arena will have a base capacity of 12,000 that can be expanded up to 15,000, or down to another undisclosed number. The new complex will also include a shopping and entertainment center, office buildings, apartment buildings, a 5-star hotel, and a 1,600 car parking garage. The total investment is estimated to be 1.5 billion.
