Construktion has started.

Even if the ground work is started, are all (necessary) political decisions already taken?
And it is interesting to see that the budget is higher than for Swedbank Arena in Solna (2.1MdSEK vs 2.7MdSEK).

2.1MdSEK? How much is that? Pretty cool design tho.

Is that white ball the globe?

^^ No, it isn't. I don't see the twin tower in front off the globe, but that white ball seens to similar to Globe.

Is that white ball the globe?

Yes it is.

^^ No, it isn't. I don't see the twin tower in front off the globe, but that white ball seens to similar to Globe.
Check again, the twin towers are clearly there, it is the Globe.

2.1MdSEK? How much is that? Pretty cool design tho.

2.1 MdSEK means 2.1 billion SEK, which is around 200 million euro or around 300 million american dollars.

Check again, the twin towers are clearly there, it is the Globe.

Yep, I didn't saw the towers on pic yesterday. I thought new stadium would be realized on Soderstadion area, north than globe, instead the new stadium will be realized at south than globe. This was my mystake.

So, looking the pics will be completely demolished Soderstadion to realize that white square building.

2.1 MdSEK means 2.1 billion SEK, which is around 200 million euro or around 300 million american dollars.Quite expensive tho.

Quite expensive tho.

And 2100MSEK is even 225M euro to be correct. And that's for Swedbank Arena. This one is budgeted at 2700MSEK, which is 290MEUR....

You get what you pay for :) Amazing stadium!

I follow the construction of the stadium every day via webcam and go once a week there and try to get me a look at it "live", looks good so far :)

We've got a human webcam. Welcome, Hammarby :lol:

Well thank you Carrie, I guess :)

Is this stadium meant to host the Swedish NT games or will Rasunda still be the NT stadium?

^^ No, but they will tear down the Råsunda Stadium 2012 to build apartments. The new home ground for the National Team will be Swedbank Arena, witch they are building right now. There is a thread for the stadium: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=786162. Take a look!

So from what I understand, the interest in club football is reasonable in Sweden?
I saw till now you had small stadiums for clubs with, practically, the biggest stadium in the country unused by neither a club or the NT ( Ullevi ).
So AIK will play on 50.000 from 36.000, Hammarby on 30.000 from 16.000 and Djugardens will still play on the old Olympic, aren't they pissed off? :tongue3:
This comes as a surprise especially because Hammarby are now in the 2nd division!? You must have loyal fans over there.

Yes we are very loyal of course :) We need this stadium cause söderstadion is very worn and to small..

The thing is that Swedbank Arena is being built so they can lower the number of seats to ~35.000 when AIK plays. This stadium (Stockholmsarenan) though, is totaly unnecessary and Hammarby will never fill every seat (except possibly the first game of the season and the derbies). Every team in Stockholm has loyal fans, but far away from 30.000.

My team, Djurgårdens IF, is trying to build their own stadium right next to the old one, at Östermalms IP. But the ground, where ÖIP is located, is owned by the King and his fellowmens in KDF (Royal Djurgården Administration) and they aren't the most positive crew in the world. If KDF ever says yes to a stadium at ÖIP there will be a dream come true.

Last summer I walk with about 2600 others throughout Stockholm City to show our support to the new stadium for Djurgården.

A dream? If a dream for you is that your club goes bankrupt, well, than i think it's a good thing.

It will all end up that djurgården plays at Stockholmsarenan, just like AIK and Hammarby.

A own arena for djurgården, would take your economy to the bottom.

Sounds a bit harsh, doesn't it? The lifeblood of every stadium's economy is the fans of a regular football tenant to fill the stands week in, week out. And doesn't DIF have exactly that?

You are joking, right? How could DIF go bankrupt because of a stadium? Ever heard of external financiers? DNA?

"Since last autumn, a new business network has emerged behind Djurgården Football. The network is part of the effort to create a new, stronger Djurgarden, which will become the leading football club in Scandinavia, both in sport and financial terms."

:lol: This quote just goes to show that you know very little about Djurgården's arena project. The club would be unaffected even IF the arena economy fucks up, and this is because it will be owned by an independent company, Djurgårdens arenabolag. This company is, by the way, already formed. But yes, when Djurgården get 100% of the revenue from the new arena the economy will be changed, for the better. :cheers:

Clubs in Sweden NEEDS their own stadium, otherwise they will not survive. Look at Elfsborg for instance. They have a well going economy because of their stadium. Stop talk rubbish. Typiskt gnägg..

Ofcourse, i understand that. But there are manny other factors in the "game".
Look at Malmö FF, and their arena for exemple. They are one of Swedens most rich clubs, with a lot of fans, but still, they don't go economic minus even after a year they win the league. Most because of their arena.

Djurgården haven't got the results on their sides the past few years, and the economy haven't been the best. We all know that, when djurgården fotboll is in the bottom of the league, as now, you have around 5000 spectators each games. Could you imagine what you would have if you where in the second league, Superettan?

And with factors like, when the hockeyseason starts up, and people decide to spend their money to se djurgården hockey at Hovet...

Then you have even less spectators.

Could you imagine what would happen on a new arena?

I know all of you always complain about that the tickets are expensive att the games at Stockholms Stadion, and that you can barely see whats happening on the pitch because the seats(benches) are placed 10 meters from the pitch.

But do you think the tickets would be cheaper only because you have your own stadium? Do you think people would pay so much money, to see djurgården play against BK Häcken in the middle of October, when djurgården has taken a stable place in the bottom, just the way they've done right now?

Do you think people would go and watch the games even if it where cheap?

I'm not sure djurgården would survive this.
We'll, good luck, you'll need it...

But good for me, I don't want to see djurgården in the highest football league. I want to see you in the second, where you belong.

But Djurgården want's to build and OWN thier own stadium. Malmö FF only owns 25 % of Swedbank Stadion and has a leasing contract. DIF doesn't want to have such a contract with AEG or SvFF. Djurgården wants to own the stadium to 100%. A leasing contract will kill the club in long term. I am no expert but IMO to own a stadium and get all the income is way better than lease and only get the income of the games.

Not really. Many people (including me) would still go see Djurgården if they would play in SE. A new arena would attract the "supporters" that don't want to go to Stockholms Stadium that often. If you have ever seen a game from "kurvan" or the fond stand (fondläktaren) you know why there are only ~6k there. It's like 30m to the pitch, big pillars blocking the wiew, benches, etc. With a new high class stadium I am sure more people would find it more fun to go see Djurgårdens IF FF.

AIK had a drop from an average of 17 436 in 2009 to 11 872 in 2010. That's a drop from one season to another of 31%. That big of a drop in average attendance has not happened to DIF since they were relegated in 1999.

This is the case with all clubs. Yours and mine. You are not winning any arguments in here.

If elfsborg and Kalmar can build stadiums, why can't DIF? Swedbank stadion has a capacity of 24 000, DIFs stadium will have a capacity of 18 000. That means it's somewhere in between kalmar and Malmös stadium with a similar size to borås arena. Elfsborg had an average attendance of 8 423 last season and 9 719 the season before that. DIFs attendance last season was 7 178 (one game with no spectators because an incident 2009) last season and 9 435 the season before. Almost the same average the difference being that DIF are playing in a stadium from the year 1912, with both short ends 30 meters from the field and elfsborg playing in a super modern stadium and elfsborg being in the top of the table and DIF fighting to avoid relegation.

Borås arena was very cheep to build, so we have to compare between other stadiums. Kalmar and Malmö. 250 m kr and 695 m kr. DIFs budget is for a stadium of a cost of around 450 m kr. Again in the middle.

Last year Malmö won the gold with an average of 15 194.

Djurgården today has the highest ticket prices of any team in allsvenskan.
For example. The cheapest season ticket you can by in the stand 30 meters from the pitch costs 1500 kr. In a AIK game, a season ticket for an whole family costs 900 kr in råsunda stadium. Stockholms stadion really only have around 5000 good seats.

In a new stadium DIF will have an opportunity to have reduced prices for children, seniors and family in far better seats that we don't have now. Also standing supporter (klack) that today pay a minimum of 2 100 kr for a season ticket in stackholms stadion could end up with prices around what you in AIK have today of 1 300 kr on norra stå.
An average around 8 000 or 9 000 today fighting to avoid relegation could very likely be around 11 000-12 000 in a better stadium. Would you not agree? Putting us 3000 short of MFF winning gold in a stadium 300 million kr more expensive. After all. MFF and DIF has historically very similar attendance if you go back in history.

You say that they have more supporters than us, but DIF have had better average attendance than MFF four times since we got back in allsvenskan in the year 2000. And if you look at the 90s we it was the same story then the few times we played allsvenskan.

I'm not trying to say that I'm 100% right, but i believe that it all will end up like I say.

I like that clubs own their own stadium, just like we are planning to in a couple of years, but there is not always the same conditions between building a arena out at the boonies, as building one in the middle of the capital. The taxes aren't the same.

Nothing is written in stone, and it's not even sure there will be a djurgårdsarena at Östermalms IP.

But back to the topic, you've got my thoughts, and I've got yours.

We'll take it upp some day if a Djurgårdsarena is starting to get shape.

But still, where should djurgården play the 2-3 years when their expected new arena is being build. StockholmsArenan?

Isn't it so, that Stockholm Stadion aren't a approved Allsvenskan-arena after 2012(?) or 2013(?)?

I can hardly see djurgården at Swedbank Arena...

Love both this and 'Swedbank' arena. Thank you for an update! :)

What will become of the old Soderstadion once the new Stockholmsarenan is completed, demolition?

It will be torn down. What they will do with the area after that I don't know.

This is how 'Stockholms arenan' will look at evening time:

Won't obstruct the view of the pitch, just of the near side of the stadium.

I'm still not convinced. Why did they chose this design? I wouldn't like to pay for the seats next to those ugly concrete blocks.

http://i55.tinypic.com/2rxbdkh.jpg

I also read that the arena will have fake plastic grass... Big no no for me.

I've heard rumours that it will have real plastic grass ;)

but what is the aim of this project? solna has a 50k stadium why this one with 30k?

Do you, or anyone else know, if Hammarby will end up playing here? I`ve read that the fans of Bajen really don`t wanna end up here, mostly cause of the plastic grass and the location.

but what is the aim of this project? solna has a 50k stadium why this one with 30k?

Well. Originally the plan was to update söderstadion, Hammarby IFs home stadium on the other side of the globe arena. But it was soon discovered that there would not be possible to play international games after the update so they decided to build a completely new stadium instead. AIK think 50k is to big for them and still has not decided where to play in the future. Djurgårdens IF is stuck in there own stadium plans and the will have to play at either swedbank or stockholmsarenan for at least 5 years because of new stadium regulations by UEFA and the Swedish SvFF that prevent them for playing in stockholms stadion after 2013.

So this stadium will probably house both Hammarby and Djurgården and possibly even AIK.

Hammarby and Djurgården supporters don't want to play in solna because it's not a part of stockholm. It is another city.

Do you, or anyone else know, if Hammarby will end up playing here? I`ve read that the fans of Bajen really don`t wanna end up here, mostly cause of the plastic grass and the location.

The location is 300 meters from the stadium they play at today. Djurgårdens IF fans are not so happy though.
The stadium however has a crappy design for domestic football. The lower tier in the short end stands can only hold around 2500 standing supporters. The sideline stands tilt in capacity towards one short end and so on.

EDIT: And yes. Hammarby will play at stockholmsarenan.

Well not just hockey but also concerts and indoor football etc. In 1997 Jean-Michel Jarre was there for exampel :) The Globe looks a bit like a golf ball yes, or like a giant dandruff :D

Rumour has it that Stockholmsarenan will take longer to build than what was previously said btw, let's wait and see if it is true or not.

This is how the "Giant Golf Ball" looks like on the inside:

It could be Benfica's arena. Even the stand pattern has a wave.

I have talked to Peab who is building Stockholmsarenan and this stadium is delayed as rumored for a long time. The new goal is to have the stadium ready for spring 2013, but even that seems uncertain as it looks.

Really? What is the reason to this? Is it official?

Looks nice with nothing in the background, but obviously it won't be the case when installed on the stadium facades. Is that lighting pointed specifially to be projected on the 'web/net' and not on the walls that will eventually be in the background?

New images from stockholmsarenan. The arena is running late and is no longer set to be finished in early 2013. How late is not clear yet, but allsvenskan starts in march and it could be a problem having it finished in time.

Still don't understand the need for so many new stadiums in Stockholm. Sure its cool for your team to have their own ground but imagine how much better the clubs economies would be if they joined up and built one amazing stadium. It would also minimize vandalism since no fan wants to destroy their own stuff. I understand really big clubs having their own stadiums because they easily can fill them and use it for other things. In Stockholm I bet it gives more money to rent it out for concerts and similar things. My bet is that they will be decently filled the first years and then afterwards they will be empty like hell. Two big football stadiums are all that is needed in Stockholm and that is to minimize the need for traffic jams in the playing schedule.

Hmm... When Stockholmsarenan is finished we will have one medium sized stadium. Today we have none.

So many new stadiums? Stockholmsarenan is being built and will probably house Djurgården as well as Hammarby.

Sharing stadiums would not reduce vandalism, quite the opposite in fact. Just the fact that nobody want's to share stadium with their rivals makes this even more true. The clubs biggest assets are their unique identities, something we really don't want to dillute.


My bet is that they will be half-empty for the first few years, because the prices will probably be too high and just the modern feel will make a lot of the atmosphere dissapear.

Of course, the best thing would be if the clubs had the economies to build their own stadiums... but they really don't. My vision is that Djurgården somehow manages to build a stadium in their territory, Hammarby somehow manages to buy Stockholmsarenan or build a new one (perhaps rebuilding Zinkensdamm or Kanalplan, maybe in Tantolunden). For AIK, well ffs - defend Råsunda.

Still don't understand the need for so many new stadiums in Stockholm.

There are three main club teams in Stockholm, plus the national team. Two will be in this one, and two will play in the other (Swedbank). Surely, you don't want four teams to share the same stadium?

Well the number of arenas isn't increasing since you must remember that they will replace the two old ones which will be demolished.

This is correct, the number of stadiums in Stockholm is actually decreasing. If you want teams to cohabitate stadiums, you should be happy about these two stadiums getting built. Råsunda, Söderstadion, and the Olympic Stadium will be replaced by Stockholmsarenan and Swedbank Arena.

Two arenas are deffinately needed to these three clubs but will it help these clubs economies? AEG will wants to make a lot of money on both Djurgården and Hammarby so will it actually benefit these two clubs?

AIK I think has a little different position since SVFF wants to have a use for the arena outside of the national events and other things but who really knows?

Are there any calculations of how these clubs will fair with using these new stadiums?

AEG owns Staples Center, which houses two teams (Lakers and Clippers), and both clubs seem to be doing just fine.

Yeah, but one thing is to have 2 teams and another to have 3 teams.
At least 1/2 weekends will see 2 teams needing to play on the same Arena.
Of course, there are no restrictions on a National level, one can play Saturday and the other one Sunday. In Europe, Inter had to wait a week to play it's European games if they had the home leg the same week as Milan ( now it should be the other way around because Inter has a better coefficient ).

Neither stadium will have 3 teams. Each stadium in Stockholm will have 2.

And Stockholm also builds for the future. Stockholm is growing a lot each year.

And Sweden can afford it. We're not poor like Greece. ;)

Why don't you suggest also the London football fans to share Wembley or new Olympic stadium instead of using their own grounds? :)
Or the big 3 from Turkey to share Olympic Ataturk? Everybody needs a home and sharing stadiums it is not so popular in the profesional football. It is also a problem of location, especially in the big cities. I remember how Fulham fans were not so happy during the relocation to QPR- Loftus Road, only 2 miles away.

In case of Stockholm the relocation of AIK it looks ok, only a mile away from Rasunda. Also Hammarby remains on the same spot in Johanneshov, probably a half a mile from the old Soderstadium. What about DIF? They have to relocate from the North-East from Ostermalm to the south on Hammarby territory.. They could lose a lot of support from the fans. I red that in past it was another relocation of Djurgarden to the western district Traneberg. But they came back home in Ostermalm. Hope it will be the same.

Regarding Olympic stadium I can't believe that it will be turned down. At least for he unique architecture and the historical significance must be preserved. Like Amsterdam Olympic stadium. Also Rasunda was a great stadium.

Just to make things clear: Stockholm Olympic Stadium will NOT be torn down. It's UEFA directives that forces Djurgården move to Stockholmsarenan after 2014. Stockholm Olympic Stadium will stand empty all year long because of SvFF and UEFA.

Now:
Stockholm Olympic Stadium - Djurgårdens IF
Söderstadion - Hammarby IF
Råsunda Stadium - AIK & SvFF

2014:
Stockholm Olympic Stadium - Empty/Athletics
Stockholmsarenan - Djurgårdens IF & Hammarby IF
Swedbank Arena - AIK & SvFF

No I wrote two will be demolished and not three. And they are as 1708 said Söderstadion and Råsunda. Stockholm Olympic Stadium won't be demolished.

Clearly a concern. However, there is a connection to the location for Djurgården. The Djurgården ice hockey team have played there since the 1950's and the team has an average attendence of 7500 in johanneshovs isstadion (capacity 8 000). There is also a lot of Djurgården supporters living in the southern parts of stockholm.

Wow, the facade looks much better than I thought it would when I saw the samples. I thought it was going to look too "metal" and dull, but it gives a more glassy look and the reflection is beautiful.

Well I also took some pics today :)

Can't belive that this stadium is beeing delayed.

Very nice construction :) So I understand, that Stockholmsarenan is building for two Stockholm's clubs: Djurgarden and Hammarby. Swedebank Arena will be for AIK Solna. Which club is the most popular in capital city and have a many fans?

I think all of the three clubs have rather equal fan bases, AIK & Djurgården plays in the higest league called Allsvenskan, Hammarby went down to the second league (Superettan) two years ago but still has a large supporter base! :)

I have heard that the stadium will be called Tele2 arena. Almost as bad as Friends.

^^

It's a pity if the arena doesn't get the chance to get an established name before different companies start bidding over the name. Like 'Globen' or the Globe in english, everyone still says globen although it's not it's name anymore and people will probably keep saying globen whatever the official name is. What is it now Eriksson Globe Arena or something? If it had opened and stayed as Stockholmsarenan for a while they could have called it whatever, it probably still would have been Stockholmsarenan. If it gets a new name before it has opened then it's another thing.

And the Hammarby supporters will call it "Nya Söderstadion". ;)

Personally, I think I will continue to call it "Stockholmsarenan" even if they change the name to Tele 2 Arena.

That is the problem with the "Friends Arena"(earlier, and in this forum "Swedbank Arena". What will be the inofficial namne and the name that the people will call it. I know that I wont call it Friends och Swedbank Arena, so what the fuck should I call it?

I think it should be called 'Stockholmsarenan' for ever :)

I think Friends arena is a great name if the arena must have a company name. Tele2 is a horrible name, though. So I will probably call the new arenas "Friends arena" and "Stockholmsarenan"
