December 25, 2014 is the day of natural cataclysm. The strongest snowfall blocked the Moscow roads with ten-point traffic jams. Going out of the metro station "Spartak", I did not even see the stadium at once. Everything was covered with a snow shroud.

Sculpture "Gladiator", ticket offices and the stadium "Otkritie Arena". The frame was filled with snow flakes. Unfortunately, all the photos under the open sky will be with abundant snowflakes in the frame.

The stadium is brand new. September 5, 2014 in the arena was a match "Spartacus" - "Crvena Zvezda." This day is considered to be the opening day of the stadium "Otkritie Arena". "Otkritie Arena" - one of the stadiums, which will host the games of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

In the central part of the podium A VIP seats are located.

This kind of view on the field opens from these places. Now it's winter and cold, but nothing will happen to the grass on the field. From below the grass is warmed by tubes with a warm liquid, on top the grass is covered with a "breathing" film, snow, and even the lamps are heated. The grass is warm :)

The entire stadium is literally stuffed with video surveillance systems. There are cameras even in the elevator. Thanks to video control and face recognition, it is possible to prevent and timely prevent illegal actions.
