Ericsson Globe (originally known as Stockholm Globe Arena) is the national indoor arena of Sweden, located in the Johanneshov district of Stockholm (Stockholm Globe City). 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 (361 feet) and an inner height of 85 metres (279 feet). The volume of the building is 605,000 cubic metres (21,188,800 cubic feet). It has a seating capacity of 16,000 spectators for shows and concerts, and 13,850 for ice hockey.
It represents the Sun in the Sweden Solar System, the world's largest scale model of the Solar System.
On February 2, 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.
The Globe is primarily used for ice hockey, and is the former home arena of AIK, Djurgårdens IF, and Hammarby IF. It opened in 1989 and seats 13,850 for ice hockey games, but is also used for musical performances as well as other sports than ice hockey, for example futsal (indoor football). It is owned by FCA fastigheter. The third team to play a home game in their league was Huddinge IK (three home games there, all in 1993), followed by Hammarby IF (20 home games in The Globen to this day) and AC Camelen (one game in 1998, in the sixth level league, with 92 spectators). The first international game played in Globen was between Hammarby IF (Sweden) and Jokerit (Finland) a couple of weeks before the grand opening, although the players were only 12 years old at the time (born 1977) and it was a friendly game. The arena has been the home of the finals of Sveriges Television's yearly music competition Melodifestivalen since 2002. Ericsson Globe also hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 2000 and has been chosen to host it again in 2016.

This is a memorial – to honor the long gone
This is a burial – my heaven has gone wrong
Those times we had – so long ago. Like yesterday – I miss ‘em so much – I
can’t let go!!!
My heart is full of hate – its bleeding love
Father – I have to say goodbye to keep my self alive
I can still see you – you’re fading away – but… I can still feel you –
though you’re drifting away from me.
This is a memorial – to honor the long gone
This is a burial – my heaven has gone wrong
Are you still here – still in this place? What’s left behind, where is
god’s grace?
You broke my faith
My heart is full of hate – it’s bleeding love Father – I have to say
goodbye to keep my self alive
I can still see you – you’re fading away – but
I can still feel you – though you’re drifting away from me.
My heart is aching – that’s all I know
Hope is fading – I’ll let you go…
