[[File:Ericsson_Globe_Stockholm.jpg|thumb|left|Aerial view, April 2018]]
When constructed, Avicii Arena was the [[List of largest spherical buildings|largest spherical building]] on [[Earth]] until September 29, 2023 and took two and a half years to build.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.aegworldwide.com/divisions/facilities/ericsson-globe| title=Ericsson Globe| publisher=[[AEG (German company)|AEG]]| access-date=25 August 2020}}</ref> It remained the largest spherical structure in the world until the opening of [[Sphere at The Venetian Resort]] on 4 July 2023. It has a diameter of {{convert|110|m|ft}} and an inner height of {{convert|85|m|ft}}. The volume of the building is {{convert|605,000|m3|cuft}} and it has a seating capacity of 16,000 spectators for shows and concerts, and 13,850 for [[ice hockey]]. In the upper area there are 40 VIP boxes and a restaurant.
 
The steel, concrete and glass construction designed by the architects Berg Arkitektkontor AB is supported by a [[Mero-Schmidlin|MERO]] space structure. It represents the [[Sun]] in the [[Sweden Solar System]], the world's largest scale model of the Solar System.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.swedensolarsystem.se/en/ | title=The Sweden Solar System| language=en| publisher=Sweden Solar System| access-date=22 August 2020}}</ref>

In 2021, it was announced that the arena would be renamed the Avicii Arena in honour of the late Swedish DJ [[Avicii]], who died in 2018. To commemorate the new name, the [[Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra]] recorded a performance of the Avicii song "[[For a Better Day]]", with vocals provided by fourteen-year-old Swedish singer Ella Tiritiello.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|last=Willman|first=Chris|date=2021-05-19|title=Stockholm's Avicii Arena Aims to Raise Awareness of Mental Health Issues|url=https://variety.com/2021/music/news/avicii-arena-stockholm-renamed-mental-health-1234976337/|url-status=live|access-date=2021-05-20|website=Variety|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210519043640/https://variety.com/2021/music/news/avicii-arena-stockholm-renamed-mental-health-1234976337/ |archive-date=19 May 2021 }}</ref>
 
==Future plans==
In June 2022, it was decided to renovate and modernize the arena throughout 2024, with a view of hosting the [[2025 IIHF World Championship]], which is to be jointly held in Sweden and Denmark.
