The Ericsson Globe is the national indoor arena of Sweden,
located in Stockholm. The Ericsson Globe is currently the
largest hemispherical building in the world and took two and a
half years to build. Shaped like a large white ball, it has a
diameter of 110 metres , an inner height of 85 m and a
volume of 605.000 cubic metres. It has a seating capacity of
16,000 spectators for shows and concerts, and 13,850 for ice
hockey. In 2009, the naming rights to the Stockholm Globe
Arena were officially acquired by Swedish
telecommunications company Ericsson, and it became known
as the Ericsson Globe.
Skyview is an exterior inclined elevator which transports
passengers onto the top of the arena.
It has two spherical gondolas, each able to accommodate
up to 16 passengers, which travel along parallel tracks on
the exterior of the south side of the globe.
