SKA ha their first game in the new arena today vs Sochi. Will they play all games from now on in the new arena? What is happening to the old arena, which isn't all that old.

Guessing yes, SKA will play at SKA Arena their games.

If speaking about Ledovy Dvorets, no confirmation yet. I would not be surprised if Dynamo St.Petersburg (VHL) moved there. Just my opinion, no confirmation.

Needs more ads on the ice....and holy balcony rake! Makes the oranges at the old Aud in Buffalo look flat as a pancake. I think you need climbing gear to get up to the last row

To reply you again with more info on Ledovy Dvorets. They consider to move SKA Neva (VHL) there, starting with the 2024 playoffs.

One of the digital boards on SKA arena has caught fire during the night.

One of the digital boards on SKA arena has caught fire during the night.

And that caused a reconstruction that is rumored to take up to a year.
So it looks like ForsberForever was right:

Why are they rushing SKA's arena to completion?? it looks like it needs a few more months worth of work, not weeks.

There are no words to explain how disappointing it is, however, football Gazprom Arena was also mocked for years (too slow, too expensive, birds damaged it etc.), and nobody remembers that trolling now, because it's one of the best stadiums in the world. Hoping for the same success for Ska Arena.

Why do they do it? The Potemkin arena I mean. It was clearly not finished and not safe (e.g. blocked emergency exits).

It's like they want to show the world how great they are but these kind of events just further embarass them. Opening an arena before it's finished is just reckless and stupid.
