Rostov Arena, Sports stadium in Rostov-on-Don, Russia
Rostov Arena is a football stadium located on the southern bank of the Don River, designed with a modern white roof spanning across 45,000 seats. The structure provides clear sightlines from all seating areas toward the playing field.
Construction began in 2013 and unearthed several World War II shells during the initial groundbreaking, prompting enhanced safety protocols for the project. This discovery reflected the area's past involvement in the war.
The venue hosts FC Rostov's matches and draws football fans from across the city who gather to support their team. Match days create a focal point where locals celebrate the sport together and feel part of a shared community.
The venue is accessible by bus with several routes serving the area, and it sits close to Rostov International Airport for those traveling from afar. Arriving early helps you navigate to your seat without rushing.
The roof structure was specifically designed to handle the strong winds common to the Don River region, responding to the local climate rather than ignoring it. This engineering choice makes the building work with nature rather than against it.
