While you're in the city you may visit Metallurg stadium to see the football. The team from Samara, Kryilyia Sovetov, plays in the premier league of the Russian championship. The ticet is RUR 100-200 (EUR 3-6). The only trouble could be in getting the place cause it is outside the city center, in the area of the metal factory. I got it by my friend's car.
