The Avicii Arena, located in the Johannesshov district of Stockholm, stands as a multifunctional sphere, part of Sweden's Solar System. With a diameter of 110 meters and a height of 65 meters (without the retractable roof), it ranks as the world's second-largest spherical structure. Seating 16,000, it offers a vibrant venue for various international sports events, from ice hockey to the Eurovision Song Contest and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournaments. Innovative technology, meticulous engineering, and a $92 million modernization in 2024 were paramount to its construction, revitalizing this architectural marvel.
