…there was a missing link in the arena infrastructure in our area. To meet the citys need for a modern multi-arena the decision to build Tele2 Arena was finalized in 2009. The following year, the first groundbreaking took place, marking the official start of construction – and the rest is history. A 10-year long history filled with fantastic moments and events.
The Making of a Modern Multi-Arena
In its finished state, the arena stood 35 meters high, 240 meters long, and 140-180 meters wide. The design was carried out by White Arkitekter, whose biggest challenge was the size of the plot – a strong and large structure had to be created on a very limited area. The solution? To make the arena smaller at the bottom and gradually larger higher up, giving the impression that it was hanging over its surroundings.
