CEO “Siberia” Kirill Fastovsky said that after the increase in capacity, the club’s arena would enter the top five in the KHL.
On Thursday, the Siberia Arena opens its doors in Novosibirsk. On this day, Sibir will play the first official game in the new arena, at 15:30 (Moscow time), the team will play against Barys. The construction of a new palace in Novosibirsk has been underway since 2020.
– There are many more gradations of places per price. Today’s game belongs to a special category. All prices have already been approved. There are more expensive sectors than in the former LDS palace “Siberia”. But there are also cheaper ones. So we will have better price flexibility in the new area. Today, we have already sold 1,500 subscriptions for a capacity of 10,500 spectators.
– What place in the KHL now occupies your new palace? Is it in the top five?
— I have almost no doubt that our arena in Novosibirsk is among the top 5 best KHL arenas. Another thing is that we have to solve the problem of the reception capacity, increasing it to 12,000 spectators. But when we do that, then it will be fair and proper to talk about our palace’s place in the top five KHL arenas,” a correspondent reported, reporting Fastovsky’s remarks.
