http://stadiumdb.com/news/2016/07/moscow_cska_stadium_finally_ready "There is more than one reason for these stunning delays. Possibly the largest one was land dispute between CSKA and the Russian ministry of defense. When approved, the stadium was to be built on federal land, which later had to be bought by CSKA for roughly RUB 1 billion, after a court settlement." "Back in 2007 it was announced to cost $100 million, while the final figure should be within $300-340 million." I honestly like how the ground looks, really unique. What are your guys' thoughts?

Not a huge fan. The tower looks extremely weird.

Tower is modeled after Europa League trophy, CSKA won it in 2005, and became the first Russian club to win any European competition. I agree though Alej, it doesn't look good together.
