Kulykove Pole (Ukrainian: Куликове поле, lit. 'Wader Field') is a garden square and necropolis located in the Prymorskyi raion of Odesa, in a historical centre of the city. It is located near Odesa railway station. Over the years the square has been known for various festivities. In times of the Russian Empire, it was the site of Easter, Christmas and military parades, the 1909 celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Muscovy victory in the Battle of Poltava, the 100th Anniversary of the end of the French invasion of Russia, and other events. During the Soviet times, it was the site of military parades and 1 May demonstrations. In Ukraine, Kulykove Pole is known as a place of the annual Humorina celebration on April Fools' Day. The etymology of the place's name is uncertain and still under discussion. One hypothesis links the name to a family called Kulikowski who had their estate on the site. Another suggests it was named after the Battle of Kulikovo.

Spartak Stadium (Odesa)

Spartak Stadium is multi-functional stadium in the city of Odesa, Ukraine. It is the home ground of football club Real Pharma Odesa and RC Kredo-63. It was the temporary home ground of Chornomorets of the Ukraine Premier League while their home stadium is under reconstruction for Euro 2012. The stadium was opened in 1928 as a dedication to the 10th anniversary of the Komsomol and was considered the most modern stadium in the city at the time with seating capacity of 10,000 spectators and home to the Odesa city football team. After World War II, Kharchovyk Odesa (predecessor to Chornomorets) played in the stadium for two years (1945–46). In 1950s, it was a home to football school. In 1960s, here played FC Avtomobilist Odesa that played in lower leagues. The stadium was in decline and there were attempts in the 1970s to demolish the ground, partially related to construction of the Odesa theatre of Music Comedy. Due to protests of residents, the stadium was preserved. In the 1980s, a pervasive effort was made to reconstruct the ground. After complete reconstruction, two new stands were built instead original horseshoe-shaped and capacity was reduced to 6,000. Since Ukrainian independence in 1991, the ground has been used by the following clubs: Chornomorets (including reserve and second teams), SK Odesa, Dynamo-SKA, Palmira, Dniester. The stadium is also a venue for games involving amateur teams from Odesa and its Oblast.
