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.

It has been the most attended hockey match* of the season in all world. The most attended NHL game was played on January 16 at Bell Centre while Habs hosting Avs with 21205 fans in stands.

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
Nizhny Novgorod (12,300) - February 2024. To be completed in Q1 2025.
New arena in Perm. The price has increased to 19.4 billion Rubles, up from 17,1 bln Rubles. The project is being reworked to increase the capacity to 12,000 seats, up from 10,000 seats. It should be completed no later than July 1st, 2027. The construction should begin in 2024. The prep work on site has been completed.
Yekaterinburg - UGMK Arena (12,000) - to be completed Q4 2024/Q1 2025
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:
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.

CSKA? The one they use was built in 2013 so why the need for another? is it location or something else?

As much as possible (for kids & youth). Seriously, all 3 teams want the arena to be their while located in their territory. That is a reason why Spartak/CSKA will get a new arena. Even though Luzhniki is associated with Dynamo as well. Seems no deal on Sokolniki, so chose Luzhniki. Megasport is a good indore arena, but not suited for hockey.
You say ... It is true that many new arenas have been built recently. I would not be surprised if cities like Kazan, Ufa, Chelyabinsk, and maybe Khabarovsk with Vladivostok to get a new arena over 10 000 seats in next 5-10 years. Plus Tula if rumours are true. Nizhniy Novgorod & Ekaterinburg will be done within months. Perm & Tyumen should start constructions soon.

Hi. Location. They want the arena to be built on their home at Leningradsky Prospekt. The arena they have been playing now is not theirs. The new arena at Leningradsky will include facilities for all CSKA teams (kids-juniors-senior).
