Frölundaborgs isstadion

The glass frontage reflects the trees on the opposite side of the road, and on quiet evenings the interior looks dim from the outside. Inside, the viewing area sits close to the boards. There is no standing terrace visible from the street, but the capacity card suggests that when the rink is set for a game, the space fills to 6,044. The number comes from a mix of seated and standing sections, though the sources do not agree on every seat. One count adds up to 7,600 for all events, another sticks to 7,527 — the difference is small, and it does not change the feel of the place.

What stands out is the age. The arena opened in 1967, the same year a friendly against the Swedish national team drew a record 10,244 people. That crowd lived through the decades with the building, watching Frölunda HC take shape. The Champions Hockey League banner on the wall shows that the venue still hosts European competition, though the club now plays elsewhere for most of its matches. The ground has survived without a sponsorship name, which means the sign above the entrance has stayed the same for fifty years.
