Ullevi is a stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden. The stadium was built for the 1958 FIFA World Cup, but since then Ullevi has also hosted the 1995 World Championships in Athletics and the 2006 European Championships in Athletics, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup finals in 1983 and 1990, the UEFA Euro 1992 final, the UEFA Cup final in 2004, and annually hosted the opening ceremony of the Gothia Cup—the world's largest football tournament.
The stadium is the biggest in Scandinavia, with a seating capacity of 43,000 and a total capacity of 75,000 for concerts.
The record attendance, for football, is 52,194 and was set on 3 June 1959, when Örgryte IS played against IFK Göteborg.
A Bruce Springsteen concert on 8 June 1985, became notable because Springsteen – with the help of a very enthusiastic audience – almost rocked the stadium to pieces, literally. As the city rests on a layer of clay, the rhythmic movement of tens of thousands of people was close to causing a structural collapse. Even though Bruce Springsteen has made several more visits since, it is unlikely he will manage to repeat his feat, as the concrete pillars supporting the stadium have since been extended down to solid bedrock.

This was the one and only
So pure, so pure
You named the stars and told me
They're all yours, they're all yours
And all at once I saw the sign
The very extreme of lies
And my pain
Smothering
My pain
Cover it
I can't feel your pain but
I can taste the rain I've laid
I lost my sense of wonder
There's no cure, there's no cure
I'm losing my head
Smothering
My pain
Cover it
I can't feel no pain
But I can taste the way
It touched my heart bleed
And all at once I saw the sign
The very extreme of lies
It taught me how to cry
Without my strength
I'll handle this
Over and over and i'll
Handle this
Over and over and i
Found way to blame you
Found how to blame you
I can recognize
I've lost so much
I gave so much
I've loved so much
And that's why
You took so much
And you gave so much
