Avicii Arena iswas 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 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.

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) and as part of the unclear Stockholm bid for the [[2030 Winter Olympics]]. After the scheduled reopening at the start of 2025, the neighboring [[Hovet]] arena is scheduled to be demolished and the site is to become part of the new district of [[Soderhov]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aftonbladet.se/a/0G1XRJ|title=KLART: Hovet ska rivas – så påverkas ishockeyn|date=20 June 2022|website=www.aftonbladet.se|language=sv|access-date=2 March 2023}}</ref> In July 2023, it was announced that the [[NCC (company)|NCC]] company had received the contract for the renovation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thestadiumbusiness.com/2023/07/04/ncc-lands-contract-to-renovate-avicii-arena/|title=NCC lands contract to renovate Avicii Arena|first=Bradley|last=Rial|date=4 July 2023|website=The Stadium Business|access-date=30 November 2023}}</ref>

A small cottage in [[Aluminium|aluminum]] with a {{convert|12|m2|adj=on}} base was placed upon the Globe on 26 May 2009. The artist, [[Mikael Genberg]], intended it to illustrate two important symbols for Sweden: the high-technology Globe building and the traditional, simple small countryside cottage in [[Falu red]] with housewhite corners painted in whitetrim. The house was positioned some distance from the exact top position of the Globe. Genberg also hoped to eventually place a similar cottage on the [[Moon]], which has not yet happened.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Världsunika multiarenan Avicii Arena |url=https://sgafastigheter.se/vara-arenor-fastigheter/avicii-arena/ |access-date=2023-10-30 |website=SGA Fastigheter |language=sv-SE}}</ref> The cottage remained on the Globe until October 2009.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://svt.se/2.33538/1.1570574/rod_stuga_pa_globens_topp |title=Röd stuga på Globens topp |trans-title=Red cottage on the top of the Globe |access-date=25 August 2020 |date=23 May 2009 |publisher=[[Sveriges Television]] |language=sv |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612232454/http://svt.se/2.33538/1.1570574/rod_stuga_pa_globens_topp |archive-date=12 June 2011 |df=dmy}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=http://svtplay.se/v/1570024/stuga_placerad_pa_globens_tak| title=Video: Stuga placerad på Globens tak| date=26 May 2009| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090818042946/http://svtplay.se/v/1570024/stuga_placerad_pa_globens_tak| archive-date=18 August 2009| publisher=Sveriges Television| language=sv}} (The sequence starts automatically within a few seconds.)</ref>
