[2] Demolition of Gamla Ullevi began on 9 January 2007 at 11.15 AM local time.

When Gamla Ullevi first opened it was called Ullervi, but after being pressured by a professor of Nordic languages, Hjalmar Lindroth, the r was removed.

It was designed as a stadium for only football despite half-promises being made to the archers and equestrians about space.

Next to the football pitch, the ice-skating rink was built and opened 6 January 1917 with a bandy match.

[3] Ice hockey and figure skating were two sports that also used the facilities, as well as boxing, fencing, handball, and tennis.

(Öhnander 2002, p. 7) Giovanni Galligani was the leader of Gottepojkarna, the snack and drink providers during the match.

It cost 25 öre and was published by Idrottsjournalisternas Klubb (The Sport Journalists Club) but financed by advertisements.

The magazine featured an introduction to the match, the line-up of both teams and the points-chart of Allsvenskan.
