Manglerudhallen

The ice hockey arena, known locally as **Garasjen**, sits within a facility that has been part of Oslo’s sporting landscape since 1979. The capacity of the ice arena is listed at 2,000, though the Norwegian version of the site also lists a higher attendance record.

The building was constructed as Norway’s tenth indoor ice hockey venue. It served as the home for Manglerud Star Ishockey during their championship years in 1977 and 1978. The facility underwent a renovation in 2004, the same year that the artificial turf football pitch was completed. Ownership remains a point of contention; while official municipal records list the city, business newspaper *E24* identifies the owner as the Manglerud Artificial Turf Foundation.

A high-water mark for the ice rink occurred on January 17, 2010, when 783 spectators filled the stands for a match against Vålerenga. The Norwegian Wikipedia source offers a conflicting figure of 1,025 for a game against Storhamar, but without a specific date attached. The arena is located at Plogveien 22B, close to the Manglerud metro station.
