In the current 2025/26 season Baltika, back in the Premier League, are pleasing not only with their play and their league position but with how many people come to watch. According to public statistics, the club's average attendance is currently around 17,000 per match. That puts Baltika in the RPL's top four, behind only Zenit, Krasnodar and Spartak. For comparison, last season's average in the First League was noticeably lower at about 14,200 — which is also a lot.

It is all the more impressive given the scale of the arena itself. Rostec Arena in Kaliningrad holds about 35,000, so at the current average the stadium is roughly half full, which for such a big bowl already looks respectable. For the big matches the numbers climb higher still.
