(KZN.RU, May 3, Ekaterina Andreyeva) The unique stage, on which the 2013 Universiade opening and closing ceremonies will unfold, should continue to be used for the benefit of the capital of Tatarstan. This opinion was expressed by Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin during today's inspection.
The head of the city visited the "Kazan-Arena" football stadium under construction, where the stage metal stuctures were recently installed. The stage design is unique - it is made in the shape of a pyramid, whose peak will be adorned by a huge bowl holding the World University Summer Games Flame.
After the Universiade, the stage will be used for public events.
