Dramatic title, I know, but I think it's time for the world to know - Hammarby is in desperate need of a new arena!
Our current arena, Söderstadion, was built in 1966. For you young people, that's in the last millenia. In the last millenia, I hear it, we in the western world was busy the first 200 years with battling the Saracens over who had right to possess Jerusalem. Followed by the Dark Ages, we moved into the Industrialized time which is the foundation for our society. 1966 is a long time ago.
Anyway, the discussions of a new arena for Hammarby has been going on for the last 22 years, since 1985. That's when the Globe Arena in Stockholm was built, and at a weak moment some politician promised that we would get an improved arena. Now, politicians never keep their promises, and much frustration has been built up over the last couple of decades.
And now, if the reports have any truth to them, it is finally time! Hammarby will enter an era of prosperity and great wealth. Or at least an era with a fine, modern arena.
In the next couple of days, I will try to outline some details of how this huge project is planned. Stay tuned!
