Moscow: CSKA stadium with stronger identity After almost a year in operation there are still improvements awaiting VEB Arena in Moscow. New murals, multimedia museum and perhaps more, but what about revenue?

We've shown these on facebook and twitter a year ago but not recently: the amazing murals at CSKA's new stadium decorate entries to most of the auditorium and were ready before opening last year.

Financed and carried out by supporters, these high-quality artworks celebrate the club's biggest legends. Last year they were done at three out of four stands, now remaining walls are being covered.

In recent weeks two new murals arrived. One depicts club owner Evgeny Giner with manager Valery Gazzayev and another shows manager Leonid Slutsky, under whose leadership the army team won 7 titles in 7 years.

But that's not all of the changes fans have in mind. Last month a group of suppotrters wrote to CSKA, politely asking whether the team plan to do anything with remaining concrete elements of the stadium. As some photos may depict, part of the primary structure is painted or has murals decorating it, other elements are still bare concrete.

Now fans want to change that. The group offered to finance the required operation by crowdfunding if the club prepare a detailed price tag for it.

CSKA on the other hand promised to launch a new multimedia museum of the club's history. Fans will be able to plunge deep into the exhibition experience for the first time in a year of one and a half years from now.
