Oslo Telenor Arena
Telenor Arena (sometimes called Fornebu Arena, after it's location), is an multi-purpose indoor arena/stadium located at the Fornebu penninsular area, in the municipality Bærum in Oslo, Norway. The arena opened in 2009 as a replacement for the Nadderud Stadion, and was designed by HRTB architectural company. It can accomodate up to 15,000 people for sports events and 25,000 people for concerts. The arena also includes 40 luxury VIP boxes and club seating for 1,200 guests. Ever since it's opening, the arena has been named after Telenor, a Norwegian telecommunications company. It is owned by Euforum Holding and operated by Fornebu Arena AS.
The arena is used for several types of events such as (and primarily) football and other sporting events, exhibitions, concerts and TV shows. It has been the home arena to Stabæk Fotball between 2009 and 2011, a Norwegian association football club, playing in the Eliteserien league. As such, the stadium has hosted several of the league's games, including four UEFA tournament matches during the qualification for the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League against Copenhagen and Tirana, during play-offs for the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League against Valencia and during the qualification for the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League against Dnepr Mogliev. The arena is also set to host the 2025 World Men's Handball Championship, including the final, together with venues in Croatia and Denmark. Some of the musical acts who performed at the arena include Metallica, Roger Waters, Ariana Grande, Hans Zimmer, Drake, AC/DC, The Killers, Elton John, Iron Maiden, Adele, Andrea Boccelli, Paul McCartney and more. The arena has also hosted the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest. Because of the arena's size, it is often used for stadium concerts but can also be adapted to host indoor arena concerts, which would usually include a smaller setup.
