100% of the spectator seats. The reconstructed stands will accommodate changing rooms and shower facilities for sportsman, rooms for referees, television and radio commentators, premises for security services, three television studios, a press-conference hall, etc. The stadium will be equipped with up-to-date security systems and modernized electric power supply facilities.
