A 1972 arena that hosted the 1979 World Juniors

Nobelhallen in Karlskoga is owned by the kommun and holds 5,000 spectators, 1,100 seated and 3,900 standing. The first ice hockey match in the hall, which replaced Boforsrinken, was played on 15 October 1972: a friendly in which KB Karlskoga lost 5-9 to Djurgården IF.

BIK Karlskoga and Karlskoga IK play their home games here, and the arena is used by two senior teams, three junior teams and about 275 young players aged 8 to 15. Ice hockey players have voted it one of Sweden's ten finest ice halls several times.

The hall hosted the 1979 World Junior Championship, and on 23 March 1986 Färjestad became Swedish champions here by beating Södertälje SK 3-2 in the fifth and deciding final. Scorpions, Kent, Roxette, David Lee Roth and Status Quo have played concerts in it, and Karlskoga kommun began a major refurbishment of the arena in 2013.
