      Nizhny Novgorod residents were shown new photographs from the "Volga Arena," where the hockey club "Torpedo" will hold home matches in the new season. The new arena at Strelka accommodates nearly 12,000 spectators—significantly more than the KRK "Nagorny," where "Torpedo" played in recent years. Therefore, many fans have raised the question of which seats to choose to comfortably follow the game. The lower tier has 16 sectors with 4,802 seats. In the central sectors 104-105 and 112-113, the ice is right in front of the spectators, so both attack zones and team benches are clearly visible from here. From the corner sectors and seats behind the goals, it's convenient to watch the entire rink. By the way, the fan sector is expected to be located in sector 203. In total, the "Volga Arena" will have four levels. The upper tier is designed for 6,799 spectators. Thanks to the steep incline of the stands, a good view of the rink is promised from here, almost without "blind" spots. The premium level includes 31 VIP boxes and a restaurant with 569 seats. Separate entrances, sky boxes, and additional comfort are provided for guests. The arena will also feature face-to-face format seats—13 sectors with approximately 600 seats right by the protective glass. From here, you can closely observe the players, hear their conversations, and feel at the center of the action. So far, fans have only been shown the lower tier to understand the view from these seats. Photos from the other tiers are promised to be published later.

      Let us remind you that the arena was planned to be handed over for operation to "Torpedo" this summer. It is likely that on August 14, Nizhny Novgorod residents will play a preseason match there against "Dynamo." On September 7, a test match involving "Chaika" will take place at the stadium. And already on September 14, Alexey Isakov's team will host Kazan's "Ak Bars." This will be the first home game for "Torpedo" in the 2026/2027 season.
