Thanks to the game between Brazil vs Costa Rica, we got the chance to visit the Krestovsky Stadium the first day we were here. It was a totally different experience than in Moscow. Firstly, shuttle bus was easy to find and the signal to the stadium after getting off was very clear. On top of that, the crowd was orderly no matter they were on the shuttle bus or the road to gates. Secondly, it was really efficient for the staffs serving drinks and food outside or in the stadium. It only took 15 minutes to get water and hotdogs during halftime under the circumstance that more than 63,000 people went the game which surprised me. Krestovsky Stadium was open in 2017 and built at a cost of $1.1 billion. It is considered one of the most expensive stadiums ever built, so I would really recommend all to experience this brand new stadium.
