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.
