(Translated by Google) I was at football 2 times when Shakhtar played. Everything is convenient inside; there is a cafe on each level of the stadium, which by the way is not expensive. I walked around the stadium grounds 10 times. The grounds are huge and very beautiful, you can walk around it for half a day, everything is well maintained. (Original) Был 2 раза на футболе когда Шахтер играл. Внутри все удобно, есть на каждом уровне стадиона кафе, где кстати не дорого. Раз 10 гулял по территории стадиона Территория огромная и очень красивая, можно по ней пол дня гулять, все ухожено.
(Translated by Google) A unique stadium. Designed for 52,667 spectators. Belonged to the 5 star category. The opening of the stadium took place on August 29, 2009 - on Miner's Day and Donetsk City Day. The opening ceremony was called the “Grand Show”, which consisted of two parts. The first is a choreographic show, performances by political figures, Ukrainian popular music performers and a performance of the Shakhtar football club. The second is a concert by American singer Beyoncé. The stadium's capacity during the opening ceremony was 43,000 spectators, as the remaining seats were occupied by the performance stage. 10,000 tickets for the opening, intended for free sale, were sold out in one day due to the large number of people who wanted to attend the Grand Show; 43,000 spectators and 3,000 VIPs were present at the opening ceremony. Shakhtar played on September 27, 2009 against Obolon. The first goal at the Donbass Arena was scored by Jadson in the 18th minute (result 4-0).
