Saturn Stadium
Saturn Stadium is a football stadium in Ramenskoye, Moscow Oblast, Russia. It is the home ground of third-tier side FC Saturn Ramenskoye and has also used by Torpedo Moscow. The stadium holds 14,685 and was built in 1999. For the 2013–14 season and the first half of the 2014-15 season, Torpedo played at the Saturn Stadium instead of its home ground as a cost-saving measure amidst financial difficulties.

Since then, most stadiums in the league are even more modern grounds, built in accordance with 2018 FIFA World Cup standards. First-tier football was reportedly supposed to return to Saturn Stadium in 2022 as Torpedo Moscow's Eduard Streltsov Stadium undergoes a two-year rebuilding project. However, so far the club has opted to use the much larger Luzhniki Stadium Luzhniki Stadium ( rus, стадион «Лужники», p=stədʲɪˈon lʊʐnʲɪˈkʲi, ''Stadion Luzhniki'') ...
