Arena Vänersborg is an indoor stadium, located in Vänersborg, Sweden adjacent to the 'Sportcentrum' area. The stadium is primarily used to conduct bandy events and also hosts concerts and other events. The arena is owned by Vänersborg Municipality. The capacity of the arena during sports events is 4,000 but during concerts, it can be expanded to 8,500. Opened on 24th September 2009 after a span of a year of construction. On 4th March 2009, an agreement was signed between the stadium owners and the local bandy club IFK Vänersborg about how the stadium operations would be maintained.
