southern end was proposed, but complaints from neighbors resulted in the eastern end being selected. The second rink, named Hafslund Ungdomshall ("Hafslund Youth Hall"), was completed in January 2007. The second rink was the thirty-fourth indoor ice rink in Norway. The upgrade also saw the installation of luxury suites in the main arena, as well as a new cafeteria and various sports facilities for Sparta, new locker rooms and an area for players to meet the press. This gave a configuration for 1,572 seated and 2,135 standing spectators, for a total of 3,707. Another upgrade was carried out in 2012. The refrigerating system needed replacing, and the entire floor surface was lowered to allow for additional seats on the sides. The northern stands were completely rebuilt with standing place for 1,000, and the southern stands were upgraded to seating, giving a total capacity of 3,900. The upgrades also improved accessibility and new public toilets. The upgrades cost NOK 31 million. Facilities The venue is owned by Sarpsborg Municipality. It has a configuration for 3,900 spectators. The venue is certified as a class-A hall, allowing it, among other events, to host playoff finals. Events Sparta Amfi is iced from early August to mid March. The venue is used both by elite and recreational hockey teams. Tenants include Sparta Warriors, IL Sparta, Borgen IK, Varteig IK and Kråkene IL. The ice rink is also well used by the figure skaters in Sarpsborg Skating Club (Sarpsborg Skøyteklubb).
