Samara is not only one of the largest regional centers of the Volga region, but also a rather famous sports city. Moreover, his sporting history began in the distant forties of the last century. There were no large stadiums then, as at the present time, but these were small factory sports grounds on which the sports life of the city was seething. One of these stadiums was the Torpedo Stadium (Samara). Currently, the stadium looks something like the one pictured.
History of the Torpedo Stadium
The first name that the Torpedo stadium (Samara) had, it acquired thanks to the factory in which it was located. Residents of the city called it the stadium of the bearing factory. The time of formation is not known exactly. But the approximate period when the factory stadium was formed from the sports ground at the factory, many determine the beginning of the fifties of the twentieth century. In those days, the first sport that was cultivated at this stadium was, surprisingly, ball hockey. In the sixties, the Pishchevik team trained and held home meetings here, playing in the major league of the USSR championship in ball hockey. Also at this stadium classes of volleyball teams and boxing training took place.
With the development of the infrastructure of the city, other sports facilities appear in it . Currently, the millionth city of Samara is a center for the development of sports in the region. The Torpedo stadium in those days began to receive much less attention, some of the buildings in the stadium were destroyed, and for some time it was just a city ice rink. Nevertheless, the stadium has survived, and is currently undergoing a small reconstruction.
Weekdays of the complex
Currently, the stadium is actively involved in the sports life of the city. It hosts matches of the city football championship, athletes from the children's youth school of football train. Among other things, the stadium is constantly open, unlike many other sports facilities in the city. And many residents come to the Torpedo stadium (Samara) in order to play on artificial turf, the so-called “rubber band”. This field looks as shown in the photo.
Property Location
Many residents of the city are interested in the question of where the Torpedo stadium in Samara is located, since they would like to watch the matches of their favorite team in the framework of the city football championship. Getting to the stadium is easy enough. It is located between two metro stations - Alabinskaya and Rossiyskaya.
On the map of the city, on Michurin Street, the Torpedo Stadium (Samara) is indicated, an address that can also be seen on it. A fragment of the map of the city on which the stadium is located can be seen here.
The foggy future of Torpedo Stadium
The question of whether Torpedo Stadium (Samara) has a future remains open. On the one hand, money is invested in it for a small reconstruction, in addition, the stadium is constantly involved by the residents of the city. But, on the other hand, there are many sports arenas that also need money. Therefore, the future of the stadium is foggy.
Nevertheless, the city leadership pays great attention to the development of mass sports and physical education in the city. Therefore, the plans of the administration include a larger reconstruction of this national stadium and the development of its infrastructure. Then at this stadium there will be additional facilities in which various sports sections for residents of the city will be located. And then it’s not only football players and volleyball players who regularly practice at the stadium now, will constantly train at the city stadium “Torpedo” in Samara.
