List of indoor arenas in Europe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of indoor arenas in Europe by capacity. A broad definition of "Europe" is used here, including the entirety of Russia, Turkey, Armenia, Georgia and Kazakhstan.
The following is a list of arenas ordered by seating capacity, which is the maximum number of seated spectators the arena can accommodate for a sports event. Only the capacity for indoor sports, such as basketball, badminton, handball, ice hockey, tennis and volleyball, are included. Currently all arenas with a minimum capacity of 10,000 are included, some of which do not regularly host any sports. There is typically more capacity available if additional/temporary seats and standing room is included (i.e. for hosting concerts and other events like boxing). Other types of indoor event venues (such as a convention center) which can be used as an arena are not included unless the arena is housed in a separate designated part of the building or complex.

Current arenas that can be used for football
Currently these arenas are primarily used for indoor sports and/or other events i.e. music concerts, but can also receive association football or rugby matches in the winter, unlike the US and Canada domes, which are enclosed stadiums primarily used for outdoor sports.
Telenor Arena could be considered the only dome in Europe from its opening in 2009 until 2011, when the association football club Stabæk used it for their home matches before returning to their old home, Nadderud Stadion, as the club couldn't support the rent to play at Telenor Arena. The next multi-purpose indoor arena to open in Europe was Paris La Défense Arena in 2017.
