Håkons Hall

Håkons Hall

Håkons Hall Sport Centre is an arena in Lillehammer, Norway. Originally built as the biggest of the two ice hockey venues for the 1994 Winter Olympics, the arena can hold up to 11,500 people. Lillehammer Ishockeyklubb has played a few games there, but the two most important hockey tournaments played in the arena were the 1994 Olympics (famed for Peter Forsberg's goal in the deciding penalty shootout of the final game) and the 1999 World Ice Hockey Championships. It was also the ceremonial arena for the 1994 Winter Paralympics. Lillehammer IK's home games are played in the smaller Kristins Hall located nearby. The last game Lillehammer played there was during the 1994/95 season [ [http://www.dragons.no/statistikk/content.asp?menuItem=24&docID=12679&elmID=8780 Storhamar Dragons - Kamper - 94-95 ] ] .

The arena has also hosted parts of the 1999 Women's Handball World Championships, and holds other kinds of events. Today, it's operated as a sports complex with two handball fields, six volleyball courts, or badminton courts, two squash courts, a gym, a room for aerobics, a wall for climbing, as well as a golf center with two simulators, a putting-green and a driving range.

The Norwegian Olympic Museum is also located in the arena. Together with the other Olympic Venues in Lillehammer, it's a part of the Olympiaparken, the Lillehammer Olympic Park.

This arena hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004 in which Spanish sensation María Isabel won with her song 'Antes Muerta Que Sencilla'.

This is also the venue for the 2008 European Men's Handball Championship finals.
