Kalevi Keskstaadion

What Kalevi Keskstaadion does

Kalevi Keskstaadion is a historic multi-facility sports complex in central Tallinn, Estonia, operated by Kalevi Staadion OÜ under the control of the nonprofit sports society MTÜ Eesti Spordiselts Kalev. The venue occupies 7.4 hectares at Staadioni 3, Tallinn 10132, and was the first large-scale public sports complex built in post-WWII Tallinn when it opened on July 12, 1955. It is structured around three integrated assets: (i) the main athletics stadium with an IAAF-certified track surface (certified 2019) and 9,908 permanent spectator seats expandable to 30,000 for mass events; (ii) the Kunstmuruväljak, an illuminated artificial turf football field in operation since May 19, 2005; and (iii) the Kalevi Spordimaja, a 1,300 m² sports house completed in June 2021 providing locker rooms with saunas, physiotherapy rooms, a classroom, office space, and 30 beds of athlete accommodation across 5 rooms, capable of serving up to 200 athletes simultaneously.

The business serves athletes and sports clubs, educational institutions (including the Tallinna Kalevi Kergejõustikukool athletics school and Vanalinna Hariduskolleegium), event organizers of national dance festivals and cultural mass events, and individual recreation users. Revenue is generated through three streams: facility access ticketing for the athletics track (single €4 tickets, €36 ten-visit passes, €56 monthly cards); venue rentals of the main arena (€2,800–€9,300 per day depending on scale) and the artificial turf field (€55.80–€155.00 per 1.5-hour session by pitch size and capacity); and Sports House services including €14/night accommodation, €20/hour classroom rental, and €8.68–€9.92/hour physiotherapy room rental. Pricing effective April 1, 2026 includes 15% discounts for youth clubs and pensioners and a 20% off-peak weekday discount on the artificial turf field. Distribution is direct-to-consumer: bookings are made by email ([email protected]) or phone (+372 591 822 33), with walk-in access and QR-code ticketing available at the Sports House. The site also functions as the home venue for Jalgpalliklubi Tallinna Kalev football club and the Tallinna Kalevi Kergejõustikukool athletics school, providing a stable utilization base anchored by long-tenured Kalev-affiliated tenants and 99-year building rights secured from the City of Tallinn in 2004.
