That would be great
Though VHL outdoor game is called "Russian classic" so I doubt they are going to organize it in Kazakhstan.But KHL could do it and it would be good promotion for creating a KHL team in my city.

The arena is a part of a sport center that will include the olympic swimming pool (you can see it on the picture).
It is not ready yet so the corridor connecting buildings and the rear side of the arena are closed right now.
Eventialy it will also include football stadium, cycle track and wrestling arena
There was a structural deformation of one of the loadbearing structures. At least the rumors said so. They don't want to talk about it officially. The other thing is that there is a mini skyscraper being constructed right next to it. Like ridiculously close.
What they are doing inside besides that remains to be seen.

what about CSKA moscow? are they getting a new stadium seems like a shame that their rivals spartak and dynamo get new ones but the most succesful team of them all still plays in a buildng the 1967 toronto maple leafs would laugh at

Yeah, OK, but the last time they won the championship was in the 1988-89 season, and Dynamo has won 9 times since. So I'm not sure why you'd be so surprised they're not the ones getting a new arena and Dynamo is. It also doesn't look like their games are being sold out, either, as they're only averaging 4350 people per game (with the capacity being 5600 seats).
There were plans to build some big thing, but, the financial situation in the country is not so great. Also, I posted a similar question, but had some more details myself... basically, they have land for a new arena, somewhere in Moscow. And some crummy article claims that they have plans to make something. So, wait and see, and oh yeah, be very patient.

Barys will play first 6 games in the old arena. New one will be busy with some Kazakh anniversary concert.

Absolutely nothing. Nothing was going on a year ago, nothing is going on now.

Almaty surely deserves a spot in KHL provided that they have a competitive team but relocating Barys to Almaty? I think this would be disastrous and very ill-mannered thing to do against Astana people. As far as I know, the team is doing quite well in capital, it's not like they play against 1,000 people.
Economically, adding a team from central European or Scandinavia is surely what KHL wants but I think that Kazakhstan should have a second team and that can be Almaty. It's a great city with culture not only in hockey but in almost everything. It was an important place in Soviet era. They are building a great ice palace. Why not let them have a team in a league where the likes of Vityaz and Yugra can play?
Would be definitely awesome to see Astana playing against Almaty.
