The soccer world is abuzz this week after photos emerged of Ekaterinburg Arena in Russia where 2018 World Cup matches will take place next summer. What’s the big deal with the arena/stadium? Oh, I don’t know, maybe that mile high scaffolding that’s supposed to hold rabid fans during World Cup matches.
Originally planned as a 27,000 seat stadium, FIFA requires more seats so they can add more money to their corrupt pockets so now you have the ends of the stadium cut open and giving the corrupt Russians the chance to add temporary seats to bring the total capacity to 45,000.
Plan on heading to Yekaterinburg for group stage matches? Fill out a will before you leave the States.

Russia needed the Ekaterinburg Arena to meet the 35,000 capacity rule for the World Cup…
