The construction process was started in 2007 has been halted several times, with the longest pause lasting 16 months (between 2009 and 2011).

The stadium was designed with a capacity of 30,000 people. Integral part of it is a skyscraper aimed to resemble the UEFA Cup, first European trophy won by a Russian club with CSKA beating Sporting CP in 2005. The skyscraper is to stand in one of the corners, but the remaining three will also have office spaces and skyboxes instead of regular stands. There are 1,400 car park spaces planned.
