The stadium was built in 1928 as an athletics stadium northwest of downtown Moscow and is located on Leningradski Prospect , one of the main arteries of the Russian metropolis. It is located directly opposite the Dinamo metro station of the same name , which is served by line 2 . During the Second World War , the Red Army set up camp in and around the stadium (1943). In the 1940s and 1950s, the Dynamo Stadium was regularly used to host the finals of Class A , the Soviet ice hockey championship.

The stadium was home to the capital city club FK Dynamo Moscow and was also used at times by CSKA Moscow .
