A unique roofing technology was used in the construction of the stadium where one of the core elements of the roof construction is laminated wood arches with the distance between the bearing points of up to 99.9 m. There are only a handful of venues in Russia built to the similar structural design that reduces metal consumption and makes the building structure lighter.
