I hope I can at least make it to the final; my exams are that Wednesday through Sunday.
Globen is small? Did you even watch Eurovision 2000? It looked great and quite big too.

Globen is too small, they should have come to an arrangement with tele2 over the football.
I´m very surprised that some people in here still don´t get what EBU said a few years ago that they wanted to make ESC a bit smaller so even those countries that have poor economy should be able to host if they win.
The biggest stage, the biggest wallet don´t mean great success by default (Yes, I´m looking at you)
ESC 2001 in Parken is a another perfect example of when the ESC became TOO big
Copenhagen 2014 is the best example of smallness.
Besides Baku 2012 and Copenhagen 2014 were more expensive than Moscow 2009.
Eurovision is the international contest, and it should be treated accordingly.
But SVT puts money in the Swedish Eurovision performances and Melodifestivalen, and not in the ESC. Brilliant.
It's in swedish but maybe you can translate it.
This is an article about Copenhagen 2014 fiasco.

Malmo Arena capacity - Sports: 13,000
Concerts: 15,500
Ericsson Globe capacity - 13,850 (ice hockey)
16,000 (concerts)
It's bigger than all the most recent venues.
Are the MF stages anything special anyway? Sure Friends Arena is huge, but the stages themselves are simple and to be honest most of the time very ugly. The 2013 ESC stage was better than any MF stage so far.
