History

It was opened on 13 September 1970, and was called Delfinen[3] ("The Dolphin") until 2002 when it was refurbished and the naming rights were sold to the local division of the Swedish retail company Kooperativa Förbundet, who renamed it Coop Arena. In 2009, it was renamed Coop Norrbotten Arena, although it's still occasionally referred to as "Coop Arena".[4]

The arena hosted the first semi-final of Melodifestivalen 2011 on 5 February 2011, and hosted the third semi-final of Melodifestivalen 2020 on 15 February 2020.

gollark: Yep, my secondary one uses it.
gollark: It's bad at being a programming language, and bad at being a configuration language.
gollark: The osmarks.net™ service manager, used absolutely nowhere, uses TOML for this.
