Encyclopedic overview
The Petrovsky Stadium (Russian: стадион «Петровский») is part of a sports complex that consists of a number of buildings, with the stadium being used mostly for football and sometimes athletics. The Grand Sport Arena of the Petrovsky Sport Complex was the home of Zenit Saint Petersburg until 2017 and Tosno in 2017–2018.
The complex also contains another football stadium, Minor Sport Arena (MSA).
