Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, Sports stadium in Strelka district, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
Nizhny Novgorod Stadium is a modern sports facility located where the Volga and Oka rivers meet, with a translucent roof. The construction is supported by 132 triangular pillars arranged in a circular formation around the elliptical playing area.
The facility was completed in 2018 after replacing earlier plans to construct it on Pecherske Peski island to the east. This shift in location showed how the city adjusted its approach to sports infrastructure development.
The building's white and blue colors reflect the region's connection to water and wind patterns. Visitors can see how the design draws inspiration from the local landscape and rivers.
The site offers ample parking across its spacious grounds and has accessible areas for visitors with reduced mobility. The facilities are designed so that both sports events and larger gatherings can take place comfortably.
The roof is covered with one of the world's largest polycarbonate surfaces, protecting the field and spectators from the elements. This technical feature makes the structure a remarkable example of modern sports architecture.
