ABB Arena is the common name for the two biggest indoor arenas in Västerås, Sweden. [1]
ABB Arena Nord is the ice hockey arena and VIK Västerås HK's home arena. It was renovated in September 2007 and has a capacity of 4,902 spectators. [2] [3] "ABB Arena Nord" is the renovated arena, which was earlier called Rocklundahallen.
"ABB Arena Syd" [1] is the second arena and is a multi-purpose arena mainly used for bandy, but also for concerts and exhibitions.
ABB Arena Syd is the biggest permanent indoor arena for bandy in Sweden ( Friends Arena and Tele2 Arena, where a few Swedish Championship finals have been played, are bigger, but they are not usually used for bandy).
ABB Arena Syd is the home arena for Västerås SK Bandy and has a capacity of 9,000 spectators at bandy matches. [4]
It was the main arena at the Bandy World Championship 2009. The Federation of International Bandy (FIB) have arranged training camps for developing bandy countries here. [5]
