Former Russian hockey player Maxime Rybine said that everything at the SKA Arena is done at the highest level, including the changing rooms and rooms for medical staff.
On Sunday, SKA played its first match in the new SKA Arena, which can accommodate 21,500 spectators. The regular match of the Fonbet KHL Championship against Sochi (8:1) was attended by 21,481 people, which became a new attendance record among hockey stadiums.
— On the one hand, opening such arenas throughout the country is quite expensive. But, of course, they will have a completely different image than the matches. Palaces like these, like those in St. Petersburg and Omsk, are pleasing to the eye. Everything is very well calculated, even in the locker rooms, sports halls and medical staff rooms. Everything is done at the highest level and very cool.
Will the new arena affect consistent attendance at SKA matches? To avoid this, a certain system is necessary. Imagine an ordinary family of three. They will want to eat and drink something. Attending a match should not be a super expensive pleasure for them, so as not to lose their regular spectators. Tickets should be sold cheaper and perhaps a system of discounts for children should be introduced. But specifically at SKA, they are able to think through everything. The management of the club is very well developed there and fans will definitely come to their matches,” Rybin said according to RT.
