World Cup venues are required to have a capacity of at least 35,000 seats, which meant that one Russian stadium had to go through a drastic renovation to meet the requirement.

And it couldn’t look any scarier.

Ekaterinburg Arena in Yekaterinburg, Russia, had an initial capacity of 27,000. For the summer’s World Cup, it will welcome 45,000 fans to the venue for each match. The Russian Football Union accomplished such a feat by building a massive seating structure OUTSIDE the stadium. This is what it looks like:

Hi all. I live down on the South Coast near Eastbourne and have been a Manchester United supporter since WW2, about 74 years. I saw my first game, a friendly, at Maine Road between United and City, it was played their because of Old Trafford having been bombed. I am married, 55 years and have 3 sons, one a Pool supporter and the youngest, cough, an Arse.... supporter, the other one not interested. I do not go to see United now because I am disabled, but I do record every game off of the United channel and edit them down onto DVD. I am one of those who have a rather large collection of United gear including way over 1000 DVDs, books shirts, I could go on and on.
I mustn't keep going on, I don't want to bore you.
Keep the Reds flying and the support NOISY.
