So far, the above championship is considered the most significant event within the walls of the VTB Arena.

The main profile of the arena "VTB Ice Palace" is the holding of hockey matches. Moreover, the ice rink is home to the Continental hockey league Dynamo (Moscow), which also has the general sponsor of VTB. However, other competitions can also host the Arena of Legends. Frequent visitors here, of course, figure skating(especially the show of Ilya Averbukh), judo, professional boxing. Even esportsmen look here.

Not only sports

Quite often, concerts of pop stars are also held here. Ricky Martin, Pet Shop Boys, Victor Drobysh and many others. This is far from full list those who gave and will give concerts here. The combination of such different things is possible due to the versatility of the halls of the arena. There are three of them. Large up to 12,000 spectators, Small up to 5,000 seats and a training hall for 200 seats.

High transformability allows you to create a comfortable environment for many different events. The pride of the "Arena of Legends" is a huge media cube, which allows not only to broadcast what is happening for the audience of the upper rows, but also to achieve various special effects. There are also well-equipped special rooms in the Ice Palace, including a conference hall for 30 people, restaurants, cafes and bars. Close to hockey museum. There is a multi-level parking. What is the layout of the hall in VTB Ice Palace?

"VTB Ice Palace" - scheme of the hall with a hockey rink. In options for other events, the location of spectator seats and the occupancy of sectors may vary.

A look into the future

This multifunctional complex (Avtozavodskaya st., 23) is located near the former ZiL plant, next to the Avtozavodskaya metro station and is the central object of the Park of Legends, which will soon acquire another complex water sports, congress center, residential complexes and apartments.

"Ice Palace" (hereinafter referred to as LD) was erected specifically for the infamous hockey championship World Cup 2000. Construction began in 1998 and in April 2000, right before the World Cup itself, was completed. Design studies were carried out by the Design Institute JSC "LenNIIproekt". Skanska East Europe Oy acted as the general contractor. On the conscience of this company arenas in Mytishchi, Chelyabinsk, Cherepovets and Yaroslavl. The cost of the work carried out is estimated at about $60 million. "Ice Palace" is a five-storey building with an area of ​​37,000 m 2 , a volume of 370,000 m 3 , with a hockey field 30x60 meters (if you remove the hockey boards and move the sliding part of the stands, the area of ​​the field increases to 3300 m 2). The height of the hall to the lower belt of trusses is 22 meters. The facade glazing area is about 5000 m 2 .

(LD during construction work)

LD is located in the eastern part of the city at 1, Pyatiletok Ave. A pleasant aspect is the Prospekt Bolshevikov metro station located less than hundreds of meters away, thanks to such close proximity, the journey from the city center to the palace takes 20-25 minutes.

(LD in Googlemap, pay attention to the metro station, which is located a little south) (Metro station "Prospect Bolsheviks", the picture was taken near the walls of the palace)

To get inside, there are two entrances: West and East, in addition, a separate entrance for the press and VIP guests from the south side and for players and technical staff from the north. The passage, even if you arrived just before the match, will not take more than five minutes, which, compared with the "Jubilee" can be considered instant. After passing the metal detector and police inspection, as well as ticket control, you find yourself in a large foyer. Foyers of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th floors allow the audience to go around the hall in a circle. There are 30 cafes in the lobby, a wardrobe and a lot of toilet rooms (almost next to every sector). Good ventilation and air conditioning provide spectators with comfortable conditions both in the hall and in the lobby in any weather.

The bowl of the arena has a classic look, these are two tiers of stands separated by VIP boxes. Each tier is divided into 16 sectors, studded with pleasant soft green seats. The capacity of the arena is 12,300 fans. At the time of its construction, "Ice" was the most capacious arena on the territory of the former USSR, and even now, ten years later, it is second only to "Megasport" on Khodynka, and "Minsk Arena". The big disadvantage is that the seats are located at a decent distance from hockey box, especially for places behind the team benches and penalty boxes. Above 408 and 409 sectors there is a restaurant "Olimp" overlooking the ice rink. In the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe 210th sector, there is an entrance gate to the Zamboni ice and other specials. technology. (Sector map) (General form on ice box LD)(Pay attention to how far the seats are from the box itself, below is a picture of the Hartval Arena in Helsinki for comparison)("Hartwal Arena")(210 sector with gates for special equipment)(View of the restaurant "Olimp")

The arena provides 74 comfortable VIP boxes of various configurations. Each box is a cozy isolated room in which everything is provided for relaxation: a wardrobe, a toilet room, a balcony with chairs, a large table with restaurant service.

In the center, under the arches of the arena, there is a video cube. The video cube consists of a 1.2 meter high circular LED screen and four HD TV screens with an area of ​​12 m 2 (4x3 m) each. It replaced the octagonal scoreboard, with four television and four LED screens (I must say that on the previous scoreboard, the screens were of disgusting quality, too bright and it was not easy to see anything on them). Since this season, graphics have appeared on the scoreboard.

The arena has a multifunctional press center hall with an area of ​​700 m 2 . It allows you to place a press center in it for holding press conferences dedicated to concerts, sports or any other events, to place a cafe during events; hold banquets and receptions on special occasions.

There are 4 locker rooms for players in the LD. Changing rooms are equipped with lockers and shower rooms. From the dressing rooms, two corridors lead to the benches, one for the hosts, the other for the guests. The benches themselves are quite short, for example, there is no place left for the second goalkeeper. The guest and home benches are separated by a space of two meters. (Bench benches, part of the tunnel to get into the locker rooms is visible on the right)

Within the walls of the LD there is also a fitness center, massage rooms, a solarium and a jacuzzi.

In addition to hockey itself, a fairly large number of different concerts take place in the LD, for this, four sectors of the stands (207,208, 209 and 210), with front rows of quick-release structures, are transformed into a stage. This configuration is designed for 11760 spectators. When performing performances by artists whose audience range is within 3000 - 5000 people. For enough a short time the large hall of the "Ice Palace", accommodating 11,760 people, is transformed into a chamber hall, designed for 3834 spectators on the condition of a "seated" parterre, or for 4153 spectators with a "dance floor". The transformation is carried out with the help of black acoustic curtains, which completely overlap sectors from 204 to 213. Such drapery creates a visual sensation of changing the size of the hall, giving it a more compact, intimate look. The stage, measuring 18 by 10 meters, moves far forward (the front edge of the stage is located along the line of the spectator passages in the 203rd and 214th sectors). Behind the stage is a standard background curtain, on the sides of the wings. Spectator seats are located both on the second tier (sectors from 203 to 214) and on the fourth tier (sectors from 403 to 414). In addition, it is planned to install either a "seated parterre" for 281 seats, or a "dance floor" with a capacity of up to 600 people. What is important, with such a configuration of the hall, there are practically no places with limited visibility of the stage, or uncomfortable. (Scheme of places of the large and small halls of the "Ice Palace") (Great Hall of the Ice Palace) (Small hall of the Ice Palace)

On days when no sports or cultural events are planned in LD, it works like a skating rink. The entrance to the skating rink is located from the northern part of the LD, this is exactly the entrance that the players use to get into the palace, and the wardrobe of the rink is the players' dressing rooms, one is used as a men's room, the other as a women's one.
