Mordovia Arena – design description
The ground has been planned in a way to give the FIFA-required 40,000 capacity for 2018 World Cup. However, since the city doesn't need such a number in regular use, after the tournament highest rows will be dismantled and bring numbers to 28,000 seats. Empty space will be filled by a promenade with recreation and commercial spaces overlooking the pitch.
