44 round reinforced concrete columns, each 1,4 m in diameter, are placed around the perimeter of the stadium. The outer perimeter features 88 three-facetted reinforced concrete columns. The columns are not just decorations as they support the entire weight of the roofing.

The stained glass of the stadium and entrances is the tempered semi-illuminated ExtraClear glass. In the summer it will reflect sunrays, while preserving heat in the winter. The stadium features a total of 15 000 м² interior and exterior stained glass windows. Glass was supplied by the local Bor Glass Factory.

Another highlight is the 35-metre-wide walkway that circles the stadium as high as its second storey.

The wave-shaped stands are designed to provide a clear view of the pitch from even the most remote point. Over a thousand workers built the 65 monolythic framework of the stands across four sectors.

The design is inspired by the main features of Volga River area which is water and wind. The stands have a wave-like shape. The seats, the windproof facade and the roofing combine white, blue and light blue colours.

The circle of the round load-bearing columns is covered by the windproof white-blue membrane, which resembles a sail.

The metallic frame of the roof resembles a bicycle wheel. The total weight of metallic structures stands at 10 000 tonnes, which is 30% heavier than the Eiffel Tower.

The stadium has 25 utility systems: water supply and sewerage, electricity, lighting, lightning protection and grounding, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, security, low-voltage communication and information transfer networks, among many others. The utilites are integrated and are managed automatically.

The pitch is like a layered cake in that it is comprised of various materials. Inside this cake is a set of untility lines and specialised equipment that assures high quality pitch in all weather conditions. After successful testing in Scotland, sand and crushed stone was used as the basic layer of the pitch. Once the grass roots had grown, they were stitched with polymer threads to increase surface stability.

The stadium has highly stable multimedia systems. The stands feature two large screens. In an emergency the screens will display urgent information, while uninterruptible power supply systems will ensure they remain operational for three hours even if all power is cut off at the stadium.
