Lokomotiv Stadium, Football stadium in Saratov, Russia
Lokomotiv Stadium is a sports facility in Saratov with a modern artificial turf field and heated ground system. The main grandstand features individual plastic seats and the grounds also include running tracks and tennis courts.
The site began as a horse racing track in 1889 and was converted into a football stadium in 1962 following a local railway team's relocation. This transformation marked a new purpose for the historic venue.
The stadium is named after the railway, reflecting the importance of this industry to Saratov. Visitors can still sense the connection to local identity and the transport heritage that shaped the city.
The stadium is easily reached on foot from central Saratov and sits in a well-connected location within the city. The best time to visit is during dry weather when all outdoor areas are fully accessible.
The stadium's ground required major repairs in the late 1970s due to soil settling issues. These extensive renovation works made it a notable example of infrastructure adaptation and problem-solving.
