KIROV STADIUM (25 Yuzhnaya Road), the largest sports facility of St. Petersburg. The construction began in 1933 (the project was approved in 1937) by the summer of 1941 most early works were finished. After the end of the Great Patriotic War, the construction was resumed (it was conducted simultaneously with the creation of Primorsky Victory Park). The stadium opened in 1950 (architect A.S. Nikolsky, K.I. Kashin-Linde, N.N. Stepanov), undergone reconstructions in 1980 and 1993 (architect S.P. Odnovalov, A.I. Pribulsky, M.V. Tsimbal, engineer V.E. Arsenov, A.S. Chugunov). The stadium is situated on the spit of Krestovsky Island, its east side adjoining the Primorsky Victory Park. The stadium base is a loop-shaped earth-filled oval hill, created by alleviation of the ground from the Neva's delta. The stands are located on the inner side of the hill; stairs and ramps lead up the hill's landscaped outer slopes; the double front staircase decorated by cascades and sculptures is situated on the east side. The sports arena includes a soccer field and a 400-meter track around it. In front of the entrance there is a bronze monument to S.M. Kirov (sculptor V.B. Pinchuk, architect L.M. Khidekel). The seating capacity of the stadium is 62,000. During the 1980 Olympics, the Olympic flame was lit there, and the group stage football matches took place at this stadium. The 1994 Goodwill Games' opening and closing ceremonies were held there as well. The stadium holds a variety of events (concerts, discos); there are gyms, pool tables, and bowling alleys available.
