Legendary arena in poor condition
A video recording has appeared on social media showing the current state of the Meteor Stadium in Dnipro. The footage indicates that the structure is in a state of decay.
This arena has served as the home ground for the Dnipro football club for decades, but no matches are currently being held there.
History of ownership and closure
For a long time, the stadium and the adjacent sports complex were under the management of the Pivdenmash plant. As late as 2021, First League teams were playing on its pitches, but access to the arena was subsequently closed.
Why reconstruction did not take place
Part of the property was transferred to the management of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council. In 2021, local deputies passed a resolution to renovate the sports complex and the ice palace. However, the Meteor Stadium itself was not included in the list of objects for restoration.
In 2023, the contract for carrying out the works was terminated. The reason was the complex's dangerous location: Meteor is situated directly next to Pivdenmash, which regularly suffers Russian missile and drone strikes.
