The World Cup venue with a stand outside the stadium
A novel way of increasing the capacity
Posted Thursday, October 05, 2017 by Marca.com
Football fans from around the globe will be desperate to get inside a World Cup stadium next summer, to catch a glimpse of the tournament in Russia.
However, some supporters will still be able to watch a game and to take in the atmosphere from outside of one stadium.
That's because the Ekaterimburg Arena will have an extra temporary stand which will look onto the pitch, but which won't sit behind the normal boundary and which won't be under the roof.
With this novel expansion, the ground will reach the required 35,000 capacity, while it'll be reduced to 27,000 after the competition's end.
