Yantarny Sports Palace
Kaliningrad, Russia
The first games played inside were volleyball matches, a choice made for the local Dynamo-Yantar team. Since then, the parquet floor, laid down for court sports, has seen basketball too. The arena kept knocking on the door of international sport for a long time before finally holding the 2022 FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship matches.
Inside, the wooden floor is covered when needed for specific events, though the natural surface remains the standard for the local volleyball club, VK Lokomotiv Kaliningrad. The capacity sits somewhere between 6,200 and 6,800, a number that fluctuates depending on the event setup.
It also hosts concerts, bringing a different kind of crowd to the same wooden floor. The venue has hosted players from Moscow when their own arenas were unavailable, showing its reach across the country.
