Tony E Loves Architecture Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 This topic is for any Russia 2018 Stadium news and updates. Here is the latest images from a few days ago on the progress of the Zenit Arena in St Petersburg - http://stadiumdb.com/constructions/rus/gazprom_arena - Source: StadiumDB.com. Personally, I don't like the design of the Zenit Arena, it will have quite a few blindspots and the facade will look boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I guess Russia wont have much problems building their stuff like Rio had. Still, I fear the same cases of corruption which haunted Sochi happen again. I hate how the St. Peterburg stadium design changed so much from it's original, lovely render to the ugly newer ones.

I preferred the Gold Exterior Design, but that design lost in the design competition, now we have a blindspot, plain exterior, delayed Stadium.

Daze Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Most Stadiums below 50K and I fear that not even those small stadiums will be sold out. Anyone here going to Russia? No one? Btw. Bezzi you must switch Germany and Italy in your signature, we are now on Rank 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zekekelso Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Anyone here going to Russia? No one? I had such a good time watching the World Cup in Rio, I'm very seriously thinking of not going to Pyeongchang in '18 and going to the World Cup instead. Sochi 2014 was a ton of fun.... I might not like a lot of what the Russian government is doing, but that won't stop me from going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexjc Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Come on, Russia can host a great tournament. I'm only afraid about Qatar. A good solid crop of stadia there, and this is where FIFA were bought. Still Russia will deliver, the event at least, if not the atmosphere. Still feel we have seen our last real full on WC for a long while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tickle Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Im sure he does realize that. Great technical bid, great presentation but standing alone and calling for FIFA to change while the rest of the world stands by shuffles their feet and pretends all is well, in case it effects their future hosting of the world cup means it won't be England in my lifetime. British papers can root out the scandal, the rest of the footballing world can reap the rewards. Shall we all agree to that. I for one am looking forward to the USA hosting twice in my lifetime, possibly even three times before England gets the world cup again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are what they are. Reminds me of a joke. A man impolitely asks a woman, "are they real." She answers, "they better be, I paid good money for them."

Because Qatar brought Votes, just like Russia did. Who knows? The rest of the Voting Process could be corrupt. The Voting Process needs to be completely re-done.

Who knows? The rest of the Voting Process could be corrupt. The Voting Process needs to be completely re-done. Because it's been all but proven that there was bribery and corruption involved in Qatar winning that vote. The same has not been proven about Russia. For you to say "could be" sounds more like you still being butt hurt over England losing. You're absolutely right the voting process needs to be re-done because FIFA is a sham of an organization. But let this one go. Russia won. How do you justify taking the World Cup away from them and giving it to England? And if you're going to answer that, do so without invoking Qatar in your answer because that has nothing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
