Eriksdalshallen, Sports complex in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.
Eriksdalshallen is a listed sports hall at Eriksdal on Södermalm in Stockholm, built in 1937–1938. Its main hall has a 22×42 m playing area with stands, a press room, a VIP room and eight changing rooms, and there is a smaller hall of 18×36 m with two changing rooms and an annex. Two tower blocks and a new entrance hall now stand in front of the hall, which originally faced Ringvägen openly.
The sports center was built between 1937 and 1938 as part of Stockholm's early sports infrastructure. It was later significantly renovated to update its equipment and meet modern athletic standards.
The hall is home ground for several handball clubs, among them Hammarby IF, Hellas HK and Djurgårdens IF, and Djurgårdens IF Innebandy plays its Allsvenskan matches here. Events in wrestling, table tennis and boxing also take place in the building.
The main hall's entrance, stands, press room, VIP room and eight changing rooms sit together, with a smaller 18×36 m hall and two more changing rooms alongside. Two tower blocks and a new entrance hall now stand in front of the 1937 building, which originally opened straight onto Ringvägen.
Iron Maiden played their first Swedish concert here on 9 October 1980, opening for Kiss before 3,300 people while the Isstadion was being renovated. The hall also has a café.
