This indoor arena, used mostly for ice hockey and concerts, occupies a site adjacent to Stockholm’s unique Ericsson Globe.  Previously known as Johanneshovs Isstadion, the building is now known as Hovet.  When it was built in the 1950s, it was an outdoor arena but in 1962 a roof was added as part of the preparations to host the 1963 World Ice Hockey Championships.  You can see a large collection of images of the arena prior to and during the installation of the roof by clicking on the link below.

In 2002 the arena underwent another refurbishment that involved replacing the seating and adding a restaurant area.  Hovet is home to the ice hockey clubs AIK and Djurgårdens IF.  It can accommodate a crowd of  8,094 for ice hockey and 8,300 for concerts.
