Studenternas IP is a multi-use stadium in Uppsala, Sweden and the home arena for the football clubs IK Sirius Fotboll[1] on the men's side and IK Uppsala Fotboll on the women's and in bandy for IK Sirius in Elitserien and several other bandy teams.[2] It was inaugurated on 21 March 1909.[3]

The summer arena has a total capacity of 10,522 spectators and the winter arena 4,700.[4] The bandy finals were played here from 1991 until 2012. From 2018 until 2023, the finals were once again played at Studenternas.[5] The arena has a much bigger capacity during that weekend, for example 25,560 spectators saw the 2010 men's final. The summer arena underwent a major upgrade between 2017 and 2020.[6] The "new Studenternas" has a capacity of 10,522 spectators. The record attendance under the new capacity is 10,054, which was set when AIK won the Allsvenskan clash on July 31 2023.[7]
