The first thing to notice is the **stadium** layout itself.
Behind the stand, the city is changing. Construction **cranes** are visible against the sky, rising above older brick apartment blocks. The original **stand** was built in 1968, but the current appearance is the result of a major **reconstruction** completed in 2019. That renovation expanded the **capacity** to roughly 3,000 seats and replaced the old infrastructure with modern amenities.
What makes this place distinct is its role within the academy system. It is not a venue for the first team, but a testing ground for the future. The **women's team** and the **youth sides** play their fixtures here. The **stadium** falls silent when the game is tight, a characteristic of a training ground where mistakes are noted more than celebrated.
There is also a separate **dome-shaped** structure visible in some views, likely an indoor training facility, which complements the outdoor **pitch**. The entire site sits at 21 Vernosti Street, tucked away in the Krasnoselsky District. It is a functional space, stripped of unnecessary grandeur, designed to produce rather than entertain.
