I dont want to come off as negative about this, i just was confused at how they said it was on of the largest when really its just not. They write: "one of Sweden’s largest ice hockey arenas" Kinnarp Arena is about the 5-6th largest hockey arena in Sweden so there's nothing wrong in the press release. | ||

I mean, your average American Handegg stadium seats a massive 60,000-80,000 people, but even your typical NBA Basketball Court seats ~15,000. From the picture, the stage is going to cut off 1 of the 4 side of the stadium, so that makes sense that it would be at least 1/4-1/2 less seats. Hm... I wonder what the typical attendance for Dreamhack Winter is and they just don't want empty seats. (Again, I'm not saying 4,000+ people at an eSports event is a small number. I'm just talking about the stadium and how much of it they're going to use.) Sweden Population - 2009 census 9,354,462 USA Population - 2011 estimate 312,414,000 -_-! The arena itself can take 7000 people watching hockey. The DH Scene is in the middle of the arena, hence 4k. They chose this hockey arena cause it's literary a stone throw away from DH. | ||
