The new arena is located near the Buyant Ukhaa Sport Palace and the Chinggis Khaan Airport in the tenth district of Khan Uul and is expected to be complete in the third quarter of 2018. As seen in the rendering, the stadium will be completely enclosed with a roof over all seats. It appears that the roofing will be completely covered with sod. According to one report, the stadium will also house a sophisticated complex including dressing rooms and a swimming pool.
