Head coach of SKA Romain Rotenberg said that the club, as a sign, decided to let the cat into the new stadium – SKA Arena.
First match in the new arena SKA will play Sunday against Sochi. The palace can accommodate 21,500 spectators. All tickets for this match have already been sold.
— I recently said that we should strive to ensure that the SKA Arena becomes the same symbol of St. Petersburg as the Hermitage. And now we have taken the first step: a real Hermitage cat is moving into our arena! We are the first to launch it at the SKA Arena and believe that the cat will not only bring us happiness and success, but also preserve the special spirit of the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. We will play great, achieve big victories and set world records in our new home! — wrote Rotenberg on the Telegram channel.
— As you know, the cat should be the first to enter a new house. And in the case of St. Petersburg – not simple, but Hermitage! — says the SKA press service.
SKA leads the KHL Western Conference standings with 85 points.
