A unique “winter classic”/outdoor ice hockey game at Ullevi arena in Gothenburg. December 28, 2009 was the first time for a hockey game to be arranged outdoors since 1976 and the interest was huge. A custom-built ice rink and temporary stands were built for 19 000 spectators. Another 12 000 were seated along the side. The record number from 1962 was beaten and the game was played in front of 31 044 people.
