Coop Norrbotten Arena is an indoor sporting arena located in Luleå, Sweden.[1] The seating capacity of the arena is 6,300, and it is the home arena of the Luleå HF ice hockey team.[2] Until 2002 it was called Delfinen ("The Dolphin") 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".[3]
The arena hosted the first semi-final of Melodifestivalen 2011 on 5 February 2011.
