Scandinavium
Encyclopedia : S : SC : SCA : Scandinavium
Scandinavium is an indoor event arena in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Opened in 1971, the arena was built in time for the 350 year anniversary celebration of Gothenburg.
The design was an outcome from a design competition. Poul Hultberg was the architect for the arena and the new entrance hall that was built in 1990. The new entrance hall contains a box office, a resturant, a bar, an office floor and a McDonald's resturant.
It has ice hockey sideboards made of tempered glass, designed for switch to NHL rink dimensions.
Scandinavium has been selected as a championship arena at least fifty times, hosting World Championships, European championships, world cup finals, Davis Cup finals, and the Eurovision Song Contest in 1985. It's home of the Frölunda Indians Ice hockey team and the Göteborg Horse Show.
