Central Stadium Yekaterinburg, Football stadium in Yekaterinburg, Russia
Central Stadium Yekaterinburg is a football venue on Repina Street in central Yekaterinburg accommodating 27,000 spectators. Classical columns and historic concrete walls define the appearance of the facility.
The site served as a velodrome from 1900 and was converted into a sports ground in 1928. The current form with neoclassical facade emerged in 1957 using labor from prisoner-of-war camps.
The building shows features of postwar Soviet architecture with a six-column Doric portico on the eastern tribune. Sporting events and matches today regularly draw spectators from across the region.
The ground stands at 5 Repina Street, roughly 2 kilometers from 1905 Square. Trolleybuses and regular bus lines run directly to the site.
Prisoners of war from Germany contributed to building the facility and helped make it one of the leading sports venues in the Soviet Union. This background gives the place a particular historical dimension.
