The GlobeArena, the largest spherical building in the world with an inside-height of up to 85 meters, stands out as a symbol for the city of Stockholm and Sweden.
With a seating capacity of 13.850 for hockey and up to 16.300 for other events the arena itself is one of the largest arenas in european hockey but still rather small compared to NHL standards, off course the visitor will also find corporate suits between the seating-levels for the normal spectators.
While there are no official standing-room tickets sold at the GlobeArena the supporters of both clubs always stand at one of the short sides of the rink and turn that part of the arena in a standing-room section, chanting and singing throughout the event.
