A new arena will be build in Copenhagen and open in 2013.
I will be build in Orestad, a new part of Copenhagen, and have 15.000 seats.
AEG World will construct and own it, they are known for the O2 Arena in London, O2 World in Berlin, and the Color Arena in Hamburg plus many more.

The price is not publish, but AEG will get a loan of 26.000.000 Euro that is free for 30 years. In the deal with Copenhagen city council AEG promise to have 40 sports and culture events every year.

In the run up to be choosen AEG battled the Danish company Copenhagen Multiarena A/S who wanted to build a 40.000 stadium with retractable roof, that could be formed into an arena. But the city council didn't believe in the big project and found the AEG bit more realistic and stronger. Maybe because Copenhagen already have Parken, a 40.000 stadium with retractable roof.

Now the Copenhagen city council hope that the arena will host the World Cup of Handball with in 10 years.

:drool:

Could you please post other pics?

There aren't better renderings available at the moment as far as I know.

...but this arena isn't under construction yet - shouldn't it be in another part of the forum?

Will the capacity be 15.000 for sport or 15.000 for concerts, which make a huge difference?

AEG have to present a plan for the financing before 15-6-09, after that, the building can start.

15000 seats. That's part of the deal.

Those arenas all look the same from the inside.

Maybe because of AEG?

They obviously dont want to spend too much money on development costs.
Aside from that its great news.

Strange to see the vomitories/exits on the same level as the suites. Thought that was a classical beginner's mistake that is eliminated from stadium/arena design since the beginning of the 90's at least.

With that design I see at least three disadvantages:

1. It reduces the amount of space for suites
2. It makes it impossible to have a separate concourse for the suite level
3. It removes the possibility to place concession stands / kiosks under/behind the stands (a pretty useful location to place them).

Anyway, hope it will be built and that it will co-host a IIHF Hockey World Championship with Malmö one day. :)

Another discussion about the interior design can be followed here:

It's definitely AEG, just look at the MLS facilities they own/have owned, they build concert venues passed off as "Soccer Specific stadiums" that are so similar it hurts, and i wouldn't call the arenas they operate inspired design for the most part. Some arenas are refreshingly different, but these seem like the accountants did as much of the design work as the architects,

But the layout is practical and at least the exterior is kind of cool here.

Seriously. They change the roof some and say it's "unique".

The decision to build the 58,000 square metre arena comes after a decade that saw a number of competing plans introduced but stall. Currently, the largest arena for indoor events in Copenhagen is Parken Stadium which seats 40,000. But because it is an open air stadium with a retractable roof, it has been rejected to hold some international events.

I find the design boring and not very unique.

I hoped that the Copenhagen Arena would be something like "Globen" for Stockholm. Something special and unique...

I still hope they will make something different... so it isn't going to be just another copy-paste arena.

There is not a lot one can do to add uniqueness to an indoor arena. Can't really blame AEG for that.

Now... which arena is this... a new project ?

^^ Looks like it's no specific arena, but "help" for whoever will build one. So if AEG can finance their plans somehow, they will most likely get these 25 million.

But, for me at least, the whole bowl flows really well with that configuration.

HOK again :)

Arent you bored with HOK?:lol:
I personally think that stadium style and concept imposed by HOK its very nice, but they have repeated it again and again. (Emirates, Da Luz, etc)

Multiarena tæt på at falde til jorden

25-09-09: 08:25 | af: Ritzau


De storstilede planer om at opføre en multiarena i København risikerer at falde til jorden.

Den amerikanske virksomhed AEG, som vandt retten til at bygge multiarenaen på Amager, har selv om fristen udløber den 1. oktober, stadig ikke en finansieringsplan klar.

Derfor er administrerende direktør i Københavns Kultur- og Fritidsforvaltning, Carsten Haurum, bekymret for, om projektet bliver til noget.

"Ideelt set skal AEG lægge over en milliard kroner på bordet og sige, at nu går vi i gang. Men det gør de nok ikke, for timingen med finanskrisen har været uheldig," siger Carsten Haurum til Ritzau.

AEG fik så sent som i juni udskudt fristen for en finansieringsplan. Hos Danmarks Idræts-Forbund (DIF) er man ikke begejstret for udsigten til at udskyde det yderligere.

Now finally some more support...

A investor:
http://www.dr.dk/Regioner/Sjaelland/Nyheder/Slagelse/2010/02/08/085809.htm

... plus according to Danish tv2. Frank Jensen says that more money will be rised/invested to finally realize the project.

And a possible club AG København, that want's to use it (rent it for regular use):
http://www.haandbold.com/nyheder.php?id=19976


The plans are still to have an arena with atleast 15.000 seats ready for 2013.

^^ It seems very odd that Brian Mollerup says he wants to finance parts of this, and that he has spoken to both AEG and Københavns Kommune, yet it still seems as he hasn't really been negotiating with them.

It's also being discussed a bit in the Ørestad thread (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=365571&page=165).

Another link...
http://sporten.tv2.dk/article.php/id-28421753.html?rss

Well people only interested in the arena, doesn't read the Ørestad Thread.
I think this is a very significant place to discuss this matter :-)

^^ And to add to that it's also in the Danish Stadiums and Arena thread in the N&B section. :D The problem is that many of the locals don't read this section....

Anyway, that TV2 article seems strange to me. What money/arena is Frank Jensen talking about? They already "gave" AEG 200 million DKK to this Ørestad Arena, I doubt they'll add more public money for that. Money coming for an enlarged Parken arena? Who knows, I just hope they'll announce something soon...it's all getting a bit ridicules.

Update... from the Ørestad thread:

Ready for some good news!!?


København får sin multiarena
Københavns Kommune, By & Havn og Realdania vil sammen bygge en multiarena i Ørestad med plads til 15.000 tilskuere. De tre ejere udliciterer driften af arenaen, som skal stå klar om få år.

Af Jesper Dahl Caruso

København får alligevel en multiarena med plads til 15.000 tilskuere. Arenaen kommer til at ligge i Ørestad Syd. Den finansieres af kommunen i samarbejde med By & Havn og Realdania, mens selve driften af arenaen udliciteres.

Berlingske Tidende erfarer, at der har været afholdt tophemmelige møder mellem overborgmester Frank Jensen ( S), kultur-og fritidsborgmester Pia Allerslev ( V), By & Havns adm. dir., Jens Kramer Mikkelsen, og Realdanias adm. dir., Flemming Borreskov. Her har de tre aktører fundet frem til en finansiering af arenaen, som skal tiltrække internationale kulturoplevelser og sportsarrangementer i verdensklasse.

»Det er korrekt, at vi er tre spillere, der er blevet enige om, at vi vil gøre, hvad vi kan, for at hovedstaden får sin multiarena,« fortæller Frank Jensen.



Projekt kuldsejlet

Berlingske Tidende afslørede i sidste uge, at den internationale underholdningsgigant AEG var kuldsejlet med sine planer om at bygge en multiarena i Ørestad . Trods udsigten til et rente-og afdragsfrit lån på 200 mio. kr.

fra Københavns Kommune lykkedes det ikke for AEG at skaffe yderligere en milliard til byggeriet. Derfor har kommunen nu besluttet at trække sit lånetilbud tilbage.

Københavns Kommune, By & Havn og Realdania skal nu sammen skaffe de 1,2 mia.

kr., multiarenaen koster, men overborgmesteren vil ikke fortælle de nærmere detaljer i finansieringen. Price Waterhouse Cooper er sat til at lave en forretningsmodel, som skal være færdig allerede i denne måned.



I nær fremtid

Berlingske Tidende erfarer imidlertid, at der arbejdes efter en model, hvor kommunen konverterer sit lån på 200 mio. kr. til et indskud i det fælles ejerselskab. Realdania skyder et ukendt, men lignende millionbeløb ind, mens By & Havn stiller en attraktiv grund i Ørestad Syd til rådighed tæt på Metro, tog, motorvej og lufthavn.

Sammen vil de tre aktører låne resten af beløbet. Det er blandt andet renteudgifter til den fremmede kapital, en kommende driftherre skal dække via huslejen.

Overborgmesteren glæder sig over, at de tre aktører har kunnet finde sammen om at løfte opgaven midt under en finanskrise.

»Det er klart, at når der er en ejerkreds med de her tre investorer, så er multiarenaen rykket meget tættere på,« siger Frank Jensen.

Hvornår forventer du som overborgmester at sidde som tilskuer i multiarenaen til en international sportsbegivenhed? »Ha-ha. Det er svært at sige.

Min erfaring, fortæller mig, at man skal være forsigtig med at melde en dato ud. Store byggerier tager tid, men jeg håber at kunne sætte mig til rette i nær fremtid,« siger Frank Jensen.

Hverken By & Havn eller Realdania ønsker at kommentere Berlingske Tidendes oplysninger, før planerne er meldt offentligt ud.

Well let's just wait and see. I would be suprised if they even started building in the next 2 years!

AEG promise to have 40 sports and culture events every year.



40 seems really low for AEG, They run the sprint center here in KC, and they have like 200 events a year and thats without a NBA or NHL team.

^^ AEG seems to be out of this, they couldn't finance the arena. The city of Copenhagen is now trying to find another solution including themself, some national funds and loans.

But now the capacity seems to be 12.500 instead and 15.000 for concerts, before it was 15.000 for sports.
