The country's main concert venue is ready to accommodate over 30,000 spectators. The lack of dedicated stalls, VIP seats and a dance floor is aimed at creating the maximum acoustic effect. Excellent visibility from all sectors, coupled with the design of the stands, allow spectators to fully experience the scale of the event.

Here are the options for the hall layouts during concerts and shows in the Olimpiyskiy Sports Complex.

The scheme may vary depending on the specific event.

Concerts

Optimal seating arrangement for performers who like to ignite the crowd. If you are a fan of an artist and just want to enjoy his work, then sectors with seating and good visibility are suitable for you. For real fans, a dance floor has been arranged, where you can go into a real break with thousands of the same loyal fans.

A more detailed division of the zone directly in front of the stage allows meeting the needs of all fans of the performer. The fan zone and dance parterre are suitable for spectators who are accustomed to holding concerts of their idols in the rhythm of the dance. Organized VIP seating is ideal for those who want to sit down to watch the concert but be part of the maddened crowd. There is also a huge number of seats in three sectors with excellent views of the stage.

An excellent option for organizing the location of the audience in front of the stage. Small division of the parterre area into VIP-seats will allow true fans of the performer to enjoy his work in a cozy and calm atmosphere. There are also extended VIP areas on the side, which are as close to the stage as possible and perfectly convey the entire atmosphere from the stage. For everyone else, convenient places are available around the perimeter of the entire hall, from where a beautiful view opens up with the effect of scale.

The legendary Olympic sports complex was built specifically for competitions and other entertainment events as part of the famous Moscow Olympics, which took place in 1980. And today important sports competitions and shows of domestic and foreign pop stars are organized there.

A bit of history

At the beginning of the twentieth century, on the place where the Olympic Stadium is located today, the Union stadium was located, where Muscovites made their first attempts to master a new game of kickball. During the Soviet period, this sports facility was renamed several times. In particular, at first it began to be called "Stadium of Sovtorgosluzhshikh", then - "Stadium of Profintern" and, finally, "Burevestnik". The construction of Olimpiyskiy, which was to become the largest sports complex in the world at that time, began in 1977. The authorship of the project of this grandiose structure belonged to big team architects, headed by M. Posokhin. By the way, for his excellent work in 1982, together with the architect B. Thor, he was awarded one of the highest awards of the USSR - the Lenin Prize. In order to build the Olimpiysky sports complex, apart from the Burevestnik territory, construction sites were allocated for the buildings of the Voskhod factory and the Experimental Chemical and Metallurgical Plant, as well as residential buildings located in the Topoleva, Vypolzov and Samarsky lanes. Construction only lasted three years, which is not a lot considering the scale of the building, and the official opening date coincided with the opening ceremony of the 1980 Olympics.

Olimpiyskiy is being reconstructed according to the principle of the Luzhniki stadium

The recognizable façade of the main building will not change. It will be saved. Its reconstruction will be carried out by analogy with the Luzhniki stadium: the entire span of the building will remain along the front wall, and the lower, stylobate part and the roof will be rebuilt.

Reconstruction project of SC "Olympiyskiy"

Now the roof of the "Olympic" is a membrane concave inward, which "eats up" a lot of space. A glass dome will appear instead.

“It will be located at a significant offset from the perimeter of the building. Therefore, from the height of human growth it will be invisible ", - explained the SK design director Galina Gordyushina.

Diving center, rooftop concert hall and panoramic restaurants

After the reconstruction, the Olimpiyskiy Sports Complex will become the first indoor multifunctional sports complex in Russia, which will bring together a variety of sports under one roof and enhance the existing sports functions.

Panoramic restaurants will be located on the exploited part of the roof.

The main building and the swimming pool at the stylobate level will be connected by a running track in the form of the figure "8". Its length will be about 1 km. The pedestrian connection with the building will also remain.
