'''Helsinki Halli''' (formerly '''Hartwall Arena''') is a large multi-functional indoor [[arena]] located in [[Helsinki]], [[Finland]]. It was opened in April 1997. The arena is convertible for various events. The total seated capacity during [[ice hockey]] games is 13,349 (about 14,000 for basketball, for [[concert]]s up to 15,000) and as an [[amphitheatre]], it is significantly reduced to between 3,000 to 5,000.
 
The Russian-owned arena has been unused since March 2022 due to EU sanctions related to the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]]. The main sponsor, [[Hartwall]], also ended its sponsorship and the arena's name was changed.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Palkoaho |first=Milla |date=25 August 2022 |title=Julkisuutta kaihtava sijoittaja haluaa palauttaa Jokerit ”Hartwall"Hartwall-areenalle”areenalle" – Paavo Arhinmäki selittää vaikeaa haastetta |url=https://www.hs.fi/kaupunki/art-2000009026948.html |access-date=15 September 2022 |website=Helsingin Sanomat |language=fi}}</ref>
