Historyedit
The first stadium at this location was designed by Czech architect Aloise Wejwoda and was built in 1924–1925. During World War II, the stadium was completely destroyed. In 1957–1961, it was rebuilt by architects N.V. Baranov, O.I. Guryev and V.M. Fromzel. At that time the capacity was 33,000 seats. Before the 1980 Summer Olympics, the Petrovsky Stadium went through the reconstruction.[4]
Zenit Saint Petersburg was based at the Petrovsky Stadium from 1994 to 2017. Tosno used the Petrovsky Stadium for one season.[5]
