rajo, i do think you don't know why 90% is unhappy about Malmo, not because of the city, but because of the arena
Malmö is impossible to pronounce in english

In Bulgarian is perfectly pronouncable - Малмьо /malmyo/
That's another issue, but I am not discussing it because I am happy with the arena. And I am fan since 1990 and Malmö is still big enough.

Not for Sweden when Globen is too small for MF. The bigger Globen is too small for the swedish NF but the smaller Malmö arena is big enough for ESC?? Makes no sense at all.
BTW, an another thing the swedish people are against is the fact that Copen hagen will be the big winners from ESC 2013 not Sweden. They will get much money without pay anything for that.
If there's no apparent mandate by the EBU, why would SVT voluntarily downsize Eurovision and keep the big Melodifestivalen?

BTW Melodifestifalen is too big?? How?? If there aren't enough with tickets then they must put the even in the bigger arena.
This is vhy we are so worried about Malmö arena. It's too small for a ESC in SWEDEN!

What's the problem with little arenas? Price of tickets, that is only rumored to be expensive? And what about safety? With less people it is easier to track trouble makers and you can actually see what is going on on the stage rather than seeing dots moving chaotically around.
Even with 10.000 to 12.000 we have a reasonable size. Even Kyiv and Riga looked huge to me. And Istanbul must have had 100.000 people in the arena.
It's not a problem to those watching the show on TV but a lot of fans that usually go to the events live will no longer be able to attend it.
