History
In May 2014, the Eskilstuna Municipal Council made the decision to build a new arena and swimming facility, to replace the then Eskilstuna Sporthall and Vattenpalatset and build a new campus for Mälardalen college at that location.

The construction of the arena began on 25 May 2015. The new swimming facility, Munktellbadet, was inaugurated on 28 May 2016.

On 17 January 2017, the name of the new arena was announced, Stiga Sports Arena Eskilstuna. The name came about after the local company Stiga Sports AB made a collaboration agreement with Eskilstuna municipality.

The arena was officially inaugurated on 3 June 2017, but had a sneak premiere for Eskilstuna Guif's men's team already on 6 April 2017.

The arena hosted the Second Chance Round of the 2020 edition of Melodifestivalen on 29 February 2020. It hosted the fourth heat of Melodifestivalen 2024.
