History

In the Soviet era, it was called V. I. Lenin Sport & Concert Complex (Russian: Спортивно-концертный комплекс им. В. И. Ленина, romanized: Sportivno-kontsertnyy kompleks im. V. I. Lenin). The complex was completed in 1979 and opened in 1980.

Besides concerts, the arena was used for various sports, notably tennis, as it was the location of the St. Petersburg Open. Other sports events hosted at the SKK include bowling, tennis table, fencing.

On 31 January 2020, the roof and a large portion of the walls collapsed during the process of dismantling, resulting in the death of one worker.^[1]
