FSC 145

== The Host City ==
This month's host city for the FSC #145 is Uppsala, Sweden. Uppsala is Sweden's 4th largest city, after Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö, and its metro area is home to just short of 200,000 people. It is located 71 kilometers north-west of Sweden's capital, Stockholm. With Stockholm being 40 minutes and the nearest airport less than 20 minutes away from the city center by train, Uppsala is an ideal location for people who work in Stockholm, but prefer not to live in the busier city itself. This also makes Uppsala an ideal place for tourists who find themselves in the area of Stockholm, as a day-trip to the neighboring city is easily possible. Similar to the majority of Scandinavia, the climate in Uppsala tends to be cold during winters and warm during summers, which makes it less surprising to hear that the Celsius temperature scale was invented in this region.
One of the main sights to be seen in the city of Uppsala itself is the Domkyrka, or Uppsala Cathedral, which is located roughly in the middle of the city. With its two prominent towers standing at 118.70 meters high, Uppsala Cathedral is the largest Church building in all of Scandinavia. Built in the lat 13th century, it is a church of the Church of Sweden and acts as the seat of the Archbishop of Uppsala. Additionally, Uppsala Cathedral is the burial site of the Swedish King Eric IX, who has since then become the patron saint of Sweden. Traditionally, the cathedral has become the location for the coronation of the new kings of Sweden. Naturally, it has become one of the main attractions in Uppsala and is one of the first things that come to mind when thinking of the city.
Uppsala University is the oldest university in all of the Nordic countries that is still in operation. The university was founded in 1477 and is nowadays often ranked in the top 100 of the world's best universities. With roughly 44,000 registered students, the students make up a big part of the population within the city itself. An interesting aspect of student life at Uppsala University is the fact that students were divided into so-called student nations based on the origin of the students. The membership of one of these nations, which acted as student organizations, was a requirement for all students until 2010.
This next stop on our tour of Uppsala leads us a bit outside of the city itself. Around 4 kilometers north, you can find Old Uppsala, or Gamla Uppsala, which is said to be the land of the Vikings. This region is now home to more than 300 burial mounds, which acted as the last resting place of Viking Kings, Queens, and more. You may find it interesting to visit the Gamla Uppsala Museum, where you can learn more about the history of Vikings from when they were the majority in this region until the establishment of Christianity in the 12th century, which led to major changes in area.
== The Venue ==
Our Host Venue for March 2021 is the Uppsala Konsert & Kongress. The Uppsala Konsert & Kongress (UKK), also referred to as Musikens hus or House of music, is a concert hall and convention center located only 12 minutes away from Uppsala Cathedral on foot in the north-eastern part of the city center of Uppsala. The UKK has been inaugurated in 2007 and has since then become one of the most successful venues in the Nordic region. The building can host up to 3000 people and the Main Hall, where the FSC show itself will be taking place, has space for more than 1,100 people seated. So please, everyone, welcome in to the UKK. Make sure to find yourself a nice and comfortable seat while we begin the show!
