Small arena: 15,000VTB Arena is a planned multi-purpose stadium in Moscow, Russia.
The old Dynamo Stadium was closed for demolition in 2008. The final design of the new stadium was done by David Manica of Manica Architecture,[1] and the construction is scheduled to be finished in 2016. The project is slated to be called VTB Arena but VTB Bank is currently attempting to sell the naming rights.[1] The football stadium will have a capacity of 33,000 that can be adjusted up to 45,000 or down to an undisclosed number while the arena will have a base capacity of 12,000 that can be expanded up to 15,000 or down to another undisclosed number.[2] The new complex will also include a shopping and entertainment center, office buildings, apartment buildings, a 5-star hotel, and a 1,600 car parking garage. The total investment is estimated to be US$1,5 billion. The new stadium is included in the Russia's bid for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[3] Other architects who submitted their projects for tender but lost included Perkins Eastman, Populous and Gerkan, Marg and Partners. Some of the elements from the losing bids might still end up used in the final design.[4]
