Images[edit]

There are now some more images on Swedish Wikipedia. One is still awaiting proper author confirmation, so I'm waiting with moving it to Wikimedia Commons. / Fred-Chess 13:28, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That reminds me that I've got a few images of the stadium too... Uploading to Commons ASAP. – Elisson • Talk 14:24, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

The name of the stadium is Stockholm Stadium, not Stockholm Olympic Stadium. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.177.188.80 (talk) 21:27, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Jacksons attendance is wrong[edit]

He had in total 53 000 people at the 2 concerts. That is 27 500 * 2 = 53 000 people. I was there and it was not full any day. I still have newspaper clips about attrndance. Bruce Springsteen always had 33 000 people there. But the record is with Rolling Stones 35 200 people. I was at Springsteen and Stones as well. And believe Me there is No way you can get in more than those 35 200 people. 53 000 is just a joke and very untrue. Peter7777ab (talk) 16:46, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also add that the audience number for AC/Dc looks suspect, 32768 just happens to coincide with the 16 bit integer limit. Fisk0 (talk) 01:08, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
