Possible Venues

[lilka]

Don't worry guys, we're going to Estonia next year.

 

[lilka]

Well, we all know now that we're not going to Estonia in 2016, we are going to Sweden instead. Possible venue? I'd like Friends Arena, Stockholm. Possible host? There's only one obvious choice.

 

[Magizian]

Danmarks Radio is broke because of Eurovision 2014. Good thing we didn't win this year.

Capacity: 4

 

[LoveHate]

Renting Friends Arena for the whole thing would cost a shitload of money. In addition to Stockholm, Gothenburg is also a possible host city.

Tele2 arena in Stockholm! I wanted Globen though.

 

[SuperGirl]

Tele2 arena pleaaaaaaaase!!!!!!!

Friends is not bad but little too far from Stockholm city without any Metro really close to it.

 

[Swedenvision]

Tele 2 Arena would be perfect.

 

[Nikoreindeer1973]

DGI Vejle.

If it is Tele 2 Arena,
will Sweden break the record of capacity that Denmark has from 2001 ?

Tele 2 Arena is not bigger than Friends Arena so the answer is already NO

The most realistic venues so far that it can be is:

Scandinavium in Gothenburg

Friends Arena or Tele2 Arena in Stockholm

Malmö Arena in Malmö (again)

 

[GermanBango]

I'm quit sure that they going to chose Gothenburg since they want the contest to be smaller again - Why should they chose one of the biggest venues in Eurovision-history? Friends and Tele2 are more the wishful thinking choices ...

 

[Krishoes]

Malmö Arena in Malmö (again)

 

[GRE]

I think this time Sweden is going BIG.

 

[Pawhlen]

I think this time Sweden is going BIG.

I personally don´t think they will choose Malmö again but after what Martin Österdahl told some days ago, they have not ruled out them yet.

Scandinavium, Friends Arena or Tele2 Arena is the most realistic choices now

It's going to be Tele2 Arena (99%),
although i am pissed off because i wanted Friends Arena.

I think picking Friends Arena is hard, it is the home arena for a big football team and they are going to need the arena in about 6-7 weaks in advance to build the stage and at least 1 week after the final is done

Sweden should better focus on music ... rather than football

 

[Pawhlen]

Forget about Malmö again, they have dropped out now, it´s either Gothenburg or Stockholm

[MENTION=10896]GermanBango[/MENTION] - Scandinavium needs to be reconditioned if it shall host ESC again

if not SVT want to set a roof over Ullevi - https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ullevi#/media/File:Aerial_photo_of_Gothenburg_2013-10-27_225.jpg

I think I'am just a bit pessimistic after Björkman's statements

 

[JackBauer]

OMG Thank god ! Malmo was the stupidest decision ever as a host.

Nothing against the city but everybody was landing in Copenhagen, eating there etc. They chose an arena with a small capacity in a country where everybody likes eurovision and would've bought tickets, decreasing the cost of the event...

The swedish taxpayers are funding this and so they deserved to have delegations paying theirs airport taxes, staying in theirs hotels, partying and eating in their towns and a big arena with a chance to get a ticket for fans.
