Voronezh, stadium "Seagull" - a place of active rest of city dwellers

Speaking of Voronezh, it can not be forgotten that this is not only one of Russia's largest megacities, where the population has exceeded one million people, but also an ancient Russian city that has a rich ancient and modern history. In addition, it is the cultural and sports center of the country. Although the city itself and its stadiums will not participate in the World Cup in 2018, they will nevertheless be involved in the placement and training process of participating teams.

Let's get acquainted with the sports infrastructure of such a metropolis as Voronezh. Stadium "Seagull" - the main subject of interest in this article.

History of the stadium

Compared with the history of the city itself, which is more than half a thousand years old, the history of the stadium "Seagull" is not so significant. The sports facility was built in the middle of the last century (1953) and belonged to the House of Officers. He wore the name Voroshilov. For those who visited in those days Voronezh, the stadium "Seagull" was the center of mass recreation of workers.

In addition to football, volleyball and basketball fields, it had a playground for the towns and even the only outdoor pool in the city with a ten-meter tower. Twenty years later the stadium was transferred to the plant, but it continued to be occupied by up to 1,500 people every month in sections of twelve kinds of sports. And in winter the city ice rink was flooded on the field.

Location of the stadium and directions

If you currently visit Voronezh, the stadium "Seagull" no longer occupies such a leading place, as before. Nevertheless, he continues to live a full life. Not so long ago, the stadium was repaired, which can only be conditionally called capital. But this sports facility still continues to be considered one of the favorite vacation spots of Voronezh. Directly the stadium itself is located in the southern part of the city - in Leninsky district, not far from the Voronezh river bank.

How to answer more precisely the question of where the stadium "Chaika" is located in Voronezh? The answer can be obtained using the map below. Local residents know this picturesque place very well.

But the guests of the city need to orient in more detail, where the stadium "Chaika" (Voronezh) is located. Every taxi driver knows how to get there. This is the most convenient mode of transport with fairly democratic prices, which does not have to wait long. On the other hand, to order a taxi it is advisable to name the street where the stadium "Chaika" (Voronezh) is located. The address of the sports facility is on the official website: Red Banner, 101-A.

Stadium as a resting place for city residents

Currently, the stadium is in municipal ownership. And it is the city authorities who invest in the maintenance of the sports facility the funds that the city of Voronezh has. The stadium "Seagull" is not the only sports facility on the balance of the municipality, and the football team "Fakel" that exists in the city is playing on another field. Therefore, the funds invested in the repair of the stadium, was clearly not enough to fully restore this sports complex.

So, the pool with a ten-meter tower, which was the pride of the townspeople, is in ruins, and solid investments are required in order to restore it to at least a pristine condition. Nevertheless, the locals love their old, but not abandoned stadium. They not only continue to improve their own physical condition by exercising on it, but also like to walk with their family in the park around and inside the stadium. In the plans of the city authorities together with the state - not only to bring the stadium in order, but also significantly improve and expand this sports complex.

Preparation for the World Cup

A significant reason for this is the holding in 2018 of the World Cup in Russia. Close attention of sports officials is drawn to the city of Voronezh. Stadium "Seagull" and the stadium "Locomotive" are chosen as bases for placing teams that will play in the central region. The photo shows a sketch of the reconstruction of the stadium, which will be due in 2017.

Thus, the city of Voronezh will be able to participate in the grandiose celebration of the football mundialya, which for the first time in history will be held in our country. And after this championship, all facilities and football fields will remain at the disposal of city residents who will be able to use them in the best way.
