The number of seats in the arena will be increased to 6,500, with new balconies, lodges and standing areas. 

- We have long seen a need for more space for sports activities within the municipality. With Arenastaden, more ängelholm residents can have the opportunity to move around, and the city will also be a more attractive municipality, writes the chairman of the municipal board, Robin Holmberg from Ängelholm municipality in a press release.

Want to attract more

The hockey team Rögle BK currently has two ice rinks, but now a third will be built to attract more young people to the sport.

- Rögle has for several years established itself as a team to be reckoned with in the SHL, which is fantastic fun. It breeds a great interest in the sport. At the same time, we need to work even harder to bring about a breadth with the next generation of players at home. We want more young people and not least girls to start practicing hockey. The extra ice rink and a larger arena support our development in this direction. With the new hall, we also free up more ice time for public riding, writes club director Daniel Koch from Rögle BK in a press release.
