Strawberry Arena, formerly Friends Arena and Nationalarenan, stands in Solna beside Råstasjön lake, just north of Stockholm. The article's sources conflict on design: the infobox lists Arkitekterna Krook & Tjäder, Berg Arkitektkontor and Populous, while the body text credits C.F. Møller Architects. Peab was main contractor. Groundbreaking was on December 7, 2009. The infobox gives an opening of October 15, 2012, and the text gives a ceremony on October 27. The cost was 2.8 billion kronor.
The roof is retractable, and a 240-square-meter media cube hangs at its center. The facade lighting offers 17 million color schemes, and 647 LED screens line the venue. There are 92 executive suites.
Football capacity is about 50,000, and concerts hold 65,000. The pitch measures 105 by 68 meters. The article names no style, materials, hours or ticket prices.
