Bergen ByArena is an elegant multi-arena that, with its aesthetic building volume and iconic crown on top, positions itself as a new landmark in Bergen.

The arena meets the highest standards to attract world-class events. The capacity is perfect for grand sports and cultural events, and at the same time, the building's structure is flexible enough to accommodate smaller events and intimate concerts. Flexibility is the keyword, and Bergen ByArena easily adapts to different scenarios and operational modes. Each event creates its own unique atmosphere, tailored to different types of audiences and stage setups. This makes the arena ideal for both local and international sports events, concerts, conferences, esports tournaments, exhibitions, and much more.

A focal point with synergy Bergen

The arena is a vital part of Bergen's development. Located opposite the existing AdO swimming stadium., The location creates an obvious synergy between between the two arenas. Simultaneously, Bergen ByArena naturally integrates into the urban space with its open base, inviting passersby into the large foyer area where everyday functions can be found. This supports a vibrant city life at Nygårdstangen even when there are no major events in the arena. The double-height foyer extends the urban space from the new square that connects Bergen ByArena to the AdO swimming stadium and serves as a natural meeting place and focal point in Bergen.
