Within the bowl of the arena the dismantling of the plant plates, used for heavy cranes has been completed and by the first half of June, on the future site of the pitch will be laid the rails for the withdrawable pitch. 

The moving platform will be electric with air cushions on the rails under the platform. This has only become possible due to the unique engineering solutions from the St. Petersburg building firm. In fact, grandstand G, which will be located under the field-span bridge is about 100 meters long. Inside it will be over 9000 supporting ropes. This design, created with high strength, can withstand heavy loads. It is also expected that the agro-technical plan will start in late May, ?that being the main part of grass for the lawn being prepared.

The plan is that in September the stadium will hold a test match with the retractable pitch, sliding roof and the interior in the sports area ready.
