    Absolutely amazing. Not sure if it was the performer’s team behind this, but, for example, getting into the area at the Lady Gaga concert was very easy - quick queue, friendly staff and a very pleasant place overall. Hope to return here for future concerts!

    Flew from Dubai to Sweden and I recently had the pleasure of attending Beyoncé's performance at Friends Arena in Stockholm on May 10, 2023, her first show in Europe. While the concert itself was outstanding, I must admit that the arena's location was a bit farther from the station than I had anticipated. Nonetheless, once I arrived, the experience was truly unforgettable. Firstly, Friends Arena's size and grandeur were immediately evident as I approached the venue. The sheer magnitude of the arena was awe-inspiring, and it made for a fitting backdrop to such a high-profile event. The architecture and design were impressive, with modern features and excellent seating arrangements that offered good views from various vantage points. As I made my way from the station to the arena, I did find the distance to be a bit of a hassle. It required a longer walk than expected, which could be challenging for those with mobility issues or when facing inclement weather. However, the inconvenience was mitigated by the well-organized event staff and the bustling atmosphere created by other concertgoers. Once inside Friends Arena, the ambiance was electric. The crowd's anticipation was palpable, and the venue's acoustics were remarkable. Beyoncé's performance was nothing short of phenomenal, with her captivating stage presence, powerful vocals, and impressive choreography. The arena's audiovisual setup enhanced the experience, ensuring that everyone had a clear view of the stage, and the sound quality was excellent throughout the show. One aspect that could be improved upon is the signage and guidance for navigating the venue. With such a large arena, finding restrooms, concessions, and exits could be a bit confusing at times. Clearer signage and more staff positioned throughout the venue would greatly assist attendees in moving around more efficiently. Transportation options in Stockholm are generally reliable, but it's advisable to plan your journey in advance, considering the distance between the station and Friends Arena. Utilizing public transportation is the most convenient way to reach the venue, and checking schedules beforehand is recommended to ensure a smooth experience. Despite the slight inconvenience of the arena's distance from the station, attending Beyoncé's concert at Friends Arena was an unforgettable experience. The arena's impressive architecture, excellent acoustics, and remarkable atmosphere combined to create a memorable night. With some improvements to wayfinding, Friends Arena would undoubtedly enhance the overall concert experience even further. In conclusion, if you're planning to attend a concert or event at Friends Arena in Stockholm, be prepared for a slightly longer walk from the station. However, once you step inside the arena, you'll be treated to an incredible live performance in a truly remarkable venue.

    Attended Friends Arena for a large event (melodifestivalen). Easy to find your way around even if you don't speak Swedish, and it was very quick to get into the venue. Seats in the middle section (parkett) are not raised, so you may prefer to sit nearer the front or around the sides if that would be an issue for you. Limited drinks and food is available, but these are fairly expensive even for Stockholm.

    before corona: Security check the people well and they are friendly. Unfortunately they don't have any lockers so you need to make sure not to bring certain items with you (such as camera during concert). The arena was very big and clean. Also it's very easy to spot the necessary thing (toilette, food/goodie stores, etc).

    vierailimme AIK-Malmö ottelussa. melko uusi (2012 avattu) areena. avarat tilat, ei oikeastaan jonoja. erityisesti hyvää oli leveämpi jalkatila istuinpenkeissä, vaikka paikalla seisoi, ihmisiä mahtui hyvin kulkemaan ohitse.

    I saw Lady Gaga in this arena and I must say it's perfect. It's like a well organised box, probably many elements depend on particular event organiser but we appreciated that going in took us less than 30min (giving the scale and security craziness) and going out of the place took less than 10. I lost my ID and hotel key card in the crowd but security found it and handed them to me afterwards without much hassle. So, I guess they've got the idea how to handle stuff.

    Very Nice Stadium in Sweden 🏟️

  • 4/5 Joonatan M. 6 months ago on Google
    Hieno kokemus paikan päällä, ravintolat lähellä, olutta sai katsomoon ja tunnelmaa riitti joka hetkeksi. Jonottaa ei tarvinnut mihinkään vaikka lähes täynnä, istumapaikat oli tilavat jolloin mahtu käveleen ohi hyvin.

    We saw the Renaissance World Tour by Beyonce here (opening night)! The stadium and the area around it was well organised. There are a few metro stations in walking distance.

    One of the best stadiums I’ve ever visited. Lovely viewing aneles. Well maintained restrooms and good options for food. The location next to the mall gives it ample of parking. Also if you travel by public transport, it is well connected by bus and rail services. Great atmosphere during national team games as well.

    Fantastic venue. From the bottom to the top it was an amazing experience and excitement. Atmosphere, chanting, not only spectators but real FANS doing from the match a great service for the AIK players and "hell" for the opposition. Thanks for everything.

    I saw Lady Gaga here, best time of my life. Someone fainted and the staff acted quick. They also provided water for the crowd and did great job with the security.

    Nationalarenan, currently known as Friends Arena for sponsorship reasons, is a retractable roof multi-purpose stadium in Stockholm, Sweden. Located next to the lake Råstasjön in Solna, just north of the City Centre, it is the biggest stadium in Scandinavia. Since its opening, the venue has served as Sweden's national stadium for men's football, hence the name Nationalarenan. The main tenants of the stadium are Sweden's men's national football team and Allsvenskan football club AIK; both relocated from their previous home at the Råsunda Stadium. The venue has a total capacity of 65,000 at concerts and 50,000 seated at football matches, but the stadium can be scaled down to provide for smaller events with approximately 20,000 guests.

    It is not Råsunda but when field is good and spectators is there, then there is no better stadium in Sweden to watch football.
