Lokomotiv Stadium or just Lauta, named after the park near the stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium, located in southeastern Plovdiv, Bulgaria. It is currently used for football matches and is the home ground of PFC Lokomotiv Plovdiv 1926. The stadium was officially opened in 1982 and is a part of a sports complex, which includes an indoor sports hall and a tennis court. The stadium initially held a capacity of 24,000 people, but in 2004 when the team became champions of Bulgaria, after the end of the season part of the stands collapsed, and the capacity was reduced to 13,800 people. Reconstruction of the entire stadium started in May 2010 and is planned to be completed by the summer of 2011. By then the ground should comply with UEFA standards and be available to use for European competitions. #a_grupa #arena #bulgaria #champions_league #europe #europe_league #field #fifa #locomotiv #loko #loko_plovdiv #lokomotiv #pitch #plovdiv #stadium #uefa
